SPOT FORECAST FOR CPT G-02 709 AM CDT THU MAY 23 2013

MAIN CONCERN TODAY AND TONIGHT: we are planning to burn near I-10,
and any smoke or fog on the interstate may impact visibility.

QUESTIONS:

1. Please include a Fog Potential Statement for tonight and tomorrow
morning.

2. PointAndClick Forecast has wind 4mph and RH 81 all night, which
should eliminate any fog concerns.  Is this correct  NOTE: RH
Thursday night was much higher than Spot Forecast for CPT G-02outside
the NWS margin of error.

3. The Fire Weather Forecaster Thursday stated that seabreeze would
not be a factor today, due to strong high pressure and tight
gradients.  Is this still the case  If so, we will take advantage of
this opportunity to burn south of I-10, with northerly wind pushing
smoke away from the interstate.

4. The Fire Weather Forecaster Thursday stated there was a
possibility that mixing of drier air aloft could cause lower than
expected RH today.  What are the chances of that happening, and what
is the worst case scenario for lowest RH today
