Report of launch blowing down all day. There was a line of convergence clouds but it was south of Sylmar. LZ wind didn't turn south until 4 pm.  No flights on Monday. TODAY…..it’s so close. The altitude is even better. Both blip and rasp agree with over 11K. Yesterday’s convergence line showed up on the rasp and it’s there again today. Again the line won’t make it to Kagel on the rasp but the NE is a good bit weaker so maybe it will in reality. The rasp indicates the NE winds aloft stay in the mid teens and then start to weaken after 5pm. At launch level the NE starts to weaken earlier but never gets below 10kts. Winds aloft are NE between 10 and 14kts by 2pm. Max altitude if you can get in the air, 11,900ft.
