QUESTIONS

1. Previous PointAndClick and Spot Forecasts said that wind would be
5mph Friday night/Saturday morning.  Current PointAndClick Forecast
has dropped wind speed to 3mph.  Should we be prepared for light and
variable winds tonight  What will be the main factor influencing
movement of smoke tonightgradient flow, drainage flow, or some other
factor

2. RH last night was much higher than forecasted, and in fact it was
100 for several hours.  There is some disagreement between current
PointAndClick Forecast and this mornings Spot Forecast about maximum
RH for tonight.  What is the current thinking on this

3. Please include a Fog Potential
Statement for Friday
night/Saturday morning, and for
Saturday night/Sunday morning.
