.DISCUSSION...

Moisture is finally increasing and RH values will no longer
be a concern through the weekend. Winds will remain on the light
side through Thursday and then begin to increase Friday and into
the weekend as multiple surface lows develop and move northeast
across the Plains. No rain is expected as well through the weekend
with the best chance of finally seeing a wetting rain early
next week.

...REMARKS...
1) What is the
probability and timing
of fog overnight into
Thursday morning. Can
you please clarify
probabilities and
extent of DENSE vs
MODERATE fog
expectations.

Fog will be possible generally between 3am and 8am. There
is around a 20 percent chance of fog 1 mile or less
visibility.


2) Is there a chance of
a sea breeze

A very weak/subtle sea breeze may pass over the site
at around noon when the southerly wind begin.

3) when can we expect
morning winds to
increase and settle
into a predominantly
southerly component

A subtle increase is anticipated over the next hour, but
the wind shift and a more pronounced uptick in wind speed
will be around noon.

4) confidence of mixing
height and transport
winds from now until
1900

Moderate to high confidence
