Report of blowing down hard all day. No flights on Friday. TODAY…...the altitude makes it worth watching the wind. Pretty hard down on launch this morning but it starts to diminish by 1pm. The rasp indicates velocity never dropping below 12kts or turning around. Burbank TAF is blowing SE all afternoon but the Van Nuys TAF forecasts NW until 3pm. The blip says ESE by 2pm. Blip altitude is at 9,800ft with the rasp up to 7K. Winds aloft on the rasp are NE between 12 and 14kts by 3pm. If you can get in the air the altitude will be good. Especially if the velocity drops off more than indicated.
