NWS PRODUCTS CONSULTED:

POINT FORECAST MATRIX PASCAGOULA 423 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

QUESTIONS:

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

2. Verification of Point Forecast Matrix for Pascagoula shows that
cloud cover was lighter than forecast overnight, and overnight RH was
lower than forecastednot approaching full recovery.  Does this have
any implications for RH and rainfall amounts today

3. PointAndClick Forecast has Lightning Activity Level 3 today.  By
definition, we should be prepared for occasional lightning an average
of 1 to 2 cloud-to- ground strikes per minute within a 30-mile radius
of our location today. Building cumulus will be common thunderstorms
will be widely scattered.  Is this correct

4. Wind did stay active overnight, as forecasted.  However, the
PointAndClick Forecast has lighter windspeeds for tonightwhat are the
chances of wind going light and variable or calm tonight  We are
burning on the north side of I-10, so any chance of smoke drifting
south overnight would be problematic.
