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. According to Area Forecast Discussion, rain is ending sooner and
sky is clearing earlier than expected.  Will this cause lower RH than
expected  Should we expect RH to drop below 28, and if so, for what
duration

3. If rain does occur, how much
accumulation should we expect

4. According to PointAndClick
Forecast, overnight wind speed is lower than expected.  Should 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
