QUESTIONS:

1. Please include a Fog Potential Statement for Wednesday
night/Thursday morning, and for Thursday night/Friday morning.  What
are the timeframes for most likely occurrences

2. PointAndClick Forecast has low RH of 27 for tomorrow...what is the
lowest we should expectand for what duration should we expect RH
below 28

3. What is the most likely timeframe for rain to occur tonight or
tomorrow, and how much accumulation should we expect

4. According to PointAndClick Forecast, wind speed is very low right
after sunset Wednesdayshould we be prepared for variable wind
directions  What will be the main factor determining movement of
smoke: gradient flow, down-drainage flow, or some other factor

5. According to PointAndClick Forecast, wind speed picks up again
around 9pm Wednesday night.  What is causing this to happen  The
upper level shortwave trough should have already moved through by
this time...so it is not clear why the wind speed would increase.
