QUESTIONS

1. With low wind speeds and temperatures over 80, we are concerned
about a seabreeze occurring today. What are the chances of this
happening If so, what is the most likely wind direction and gust
speed at this location

2. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for tonight, tomorrow
morning, and tomorrow night.

3. Friday Night Stagnation Index of 0, 1, or 2 is critical to our
planning for this prescribed burn, because our ignitions operations
will continue past sunset.  Yesterday afternoon and this morning the
Fire Weather Zone Forecast did have a Stagnation Index of 2 for
tonight.  How confident are you that this afternoons Fire Weather
Zone Forecast will once again have a Stagnation Index of 0, 1, or 2

4. Dew Points for Saturday are still well above the worst-case
scenario we discussed in planning this prescribed burn.  Please
provide an update for your reasoning on the Dew Point forecast for
Saturday, and the current worst-case scenario for Dew Point,
Temperature, and RH on Saturday.

5. In planning discussions, NWS forecasters raised the possibility
that Tropical Storm Sandy might take a more westerly track.  Please
include a statement on this possibility, and the impact it might have
on wind direction, wind speed, and RH for today, tonight and
tomorrow.  Also, is there any chance of the storm taking a more
easterly track.
