...REMARKS...
Please report Forecast Elements in
1-hour increments for tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night.

QUESTIONS:

1. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for tonight and tomorrow
morning, and Thursday night/Friday morning...with timeframes for
possible occurrences.

2. Please take a look at the feedback for this mornings Spot Forecast
for this location.  While the forecaster was correct in mentioning
the possibility of a seabreeze, there was nothing in the remarks or
in the table about the increased gusts that would occur.  What are
the maximum gusts we should expect tomorrow

3. Please see Feedback for Spot Forecast for CPT G-04 yesterday
afternoon.  Wind speeds at both KPQL and SHCM6 were kind of erratic
last night: calmer than expected during the evening hours more active
than expected during the early morning hours.  For tonight, the
8:17pm PointAndClick Forecast for 30.43N 88.43W CPT GB-06N still says
wind should stay active all night, and increasing tomorrow night.  At
9pm, wind is calm at KPQL, and TS770 is showing signs of going calm
or light/variable.  Do you agree that wind will stay above 5mph
tonight and tomorrow night

4. Were getting a somewhat mixed message from the 747pm AFD and the
8:17pm PointAndClick Forecast for this location, with regards to
thunderstorm activity for tomorrow.  The AFD says there should be
better coverage Thursday afternoon and night. The PointAndClick says
chances for rain at this location increase significantly after
midnight tomorrow, but even during the day we should expect Lightning
Activity Level 3: widely scattered hunderstorms. Light to moderate
rain will reach the ground. Lightning is infrequent, 6 to 10 cloud to
ground strikes in a 5 minute period.  In terms of the safety issues
for our firefighters, how much lightning should we expect on-site
during daylight hours tomorrow

RAWS LOCATIONS:
TS770: 1 mile S.
SHCM6: 14 miles W.
KPQL: 7 miles WNW.
KMOB: 20 miles NNE.
