Monday, 8 am Synopsis. Presidents Day, seems like a Sunday.
Plenty of high clouds in the satellite image. We do have an early am hole, but more stuff behind. It will help to get lucky with the timing of the high cloud holes. Light flow from the NW above, but not much movement down at our altitudes. The lapse rate looks ok, but the forecast is for more overdevelopment in the afternoon. Might be a good move to launch early before the OD thickens. Blue skies and building temperatures for the rest of the week.
