Report of three pilots launching between 4 and 5 on Tuesday. It was mostly ridge lift with an occasional thermal. Highest altitude was 3,909ft. It didn’t start to clear in Pasadena until after 5pm. TODAY…..looks to be windier. The fog is a bit lower but it’s gone a lot further inland. TAF’s are forecasting scattered by 10 and clear by 1pm with moderate confidence. The onshore is weaker so with no confidence I’ll say better altitude. Winds aloft are SW between 8 and 10kts by 2pm. Max altitude 4,600ft.
