QUESTIONS

Our main concern tonight is possible impacts to visibility
along I-10, which is adjacent to
the burn site, and to
Gautier-Vancleave Road.

1. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for Thursday
night/Friday morning, and for
Friday night/Saturday morning.
What are the timeframes for most
likely occurrences NOTE: KPQL is reporting fog at 19:53hrs.

2. Current PointAndClick Forecast has much lower temperatures for
tonight, compared to this mornings Spot Forecast.  This has resulted
in a forecast of RH100 for eleven consecutive hours tonight.  Is this
correct, and if so, what impact will this have on Fog Potential
tonight

3. According to this mornings Spot Forecast, we should be prepared
for light and variable winds tonight.  But the current PointAndClick
Forecast has wind speed increasing and staying NE from midnight to
daybreak.  Is this correct, and if so, what is causing the wind speed
to increase  If not correct, will movement of smoke tonight be
determined by gradient flow, down-drainage flow, or some other factor

4. When is the next rain expected
in our area, and how much
accumulation
