...REMARKS...
Please report forecast elements in
1-hour increments.

Its OK if you wait for the 12z
sounding data before finalizing
the forecast, but please post the
forecast by 7:30am.

1. Please include a fog potential
statement for Thursday night/Friday morning.

2. According to 4:17am
PointAndClick Forecast for 30.42N
88.67W CPT G-14, RH will range
from 30-36 most of the
afternoon. Given the NWS margin of
error of 10 percentage points, we
are prepared for RH in the 20-26
range.  What are the chances of RH
actually dropping below 30, and if so, for what timeframe

3. According to the PointAndClick
Forecast, the surface wind will decrease and shift to westerly during
the afternoon. Is this due to a seabreeze occurrence

4. According to the PointAndClick
Forecast, we should be prepared
for calm or light/variable wind
after sunset, but wind speed picks up after midnight.  Is this
correct

5. Please see Feedback for yesterday afternoons Spot Forecast for
this location.  Winds were much lighter than forecasted after
midnight, so we are concerned about northerly winds holding through
midday today.  This burn unit requires NW-N-NE winds.  For what
duration can we expect winds from these directions today
