Report of launch starting to blow in at about 10 on Friday. Early launches found little lift. Then it became good until the clouds shaded the area. Highest altitude was 6,358ft. TODAY…...Light to moderate WNW flow across the region. Scattered high clouds at 25K again. Given the diurnal heating, I think there will be a least some  launchable cycles. The blip is indicating a light WNW. The rasp is not working. Winds aloft (5,000ft +) are WNW between 6 and 10kts. Max altitude 4,800ft if someone gets in the air.
