Report of glider launches at about 4:30 on Thursday. The lift was good except maybe a little choppy. Highest altitude was 4,500ft. TODAY…...looking pretty hazy for a blow down. There’s fog in Burbank and pretty hazy above the mtns. NWS is forecasting a moderate Santa Ana this afternoon and the windsock is NE right now. Given the look on various webcams and the blip indicates some SW by 5pm, I’d have to say launch windows at least. The blip also indicates altitude at 8,200 and change. Sadly the rasp is not functioning so I’ll sit this one out. Winds aloft are NE between 4 and 8kts by 2pm.
