NWS PRODUCTS CONSULTED:

1. New Orleans Area Forecast Discussion 2:49am Tuesday.

2. Mobile Area Forecast Discussion 4:27am Tuesday.

3. PointAndClick Forecast for 30.44N 88.7W, Monday 4:17pm.

4. PointAndClick Forecast for 30.44N 88.7W, Tuesday 4:17am.

5. PointAndClick Forecast for 30.47N 88.83W, Tuesday 4:17am.

QUESTIONS:

1. Comparison of yesterday afternoons and this mornings PointAndClick
Forecasts shows that surface HI is moving east faster than expected,
and we should expect wind direction to rotate counterclockwise
NW-W-SW-SSW faster than expected.  What are the chances of wind
rotating all the way around to S or SSE or SE

2. With the light winds forecasted for today, we are concerned about
the possibility of a seabreeze developing.  What are the chances that
a seabreeze could result in a SE wind today

3. PointAndClick Forecast has wind 0-2mph most of tonight.  Should we
expect wind to go calm or light and variable, and if so, what are the
chances of a northerly drainage wind occurring

4. Please include a Fog Potential Statement in your remarks.

5. Verification of yesterdays Spot Forecast for CPT G-14 shows that
RH did drop below 28, but later in the day than expected. Todays
PointAndClick Forecast for CPT O-20 has low RH at 28, for CPT G-02 it
is 30.  Given the NWS margin of error, we are prepared for RH as low
as 20 today.  What are the chances RH will drop below 28, and if so,
for what duration NOTE: Current observations shows a dry pocket at
KBIX...will this have an effect on our RH today
