...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.

QUESTIONS

1. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for Friday
night/Saturday morning.

2. What time do you expect rain to
begin Friday night or Saturday,
and what is the total accumulation
expected for the event  We are
counting on rain to minimize
residual smoldering in heavy
fuels...what are the chances the
rain may total less than one inch

3. CPT O-08 is adjacent to I-10,
so wind direction is critical. The
3:17am PointAndClick Forecast for
CPT O-08, 30.47N 88.8W has wind speed staying fairly active for most
of Friday night/Saturday morning.  However there is a brief period
around 3-4am with very light winds.  What are the chances of wind
going
light/variable or calm at any time
Friday night/Saturday morning, and
if so, should we be prepared for
smoke to drift south towards I-10

4. Please see Feedback for yesterday afternoons Spot Forecast for
this location. We noticed that temps were significantly cooler than
forecasted at times...does this have any implications for todays
forecast

5. Area Forecast issued at 3:57am this morning hints that windy/rainy
conditions may occur earlier than originally anticipated.  What are
the maximum gusts we should expect today
