Didn't Launch Today
No pic today, but an update. The weather was a little worse than we expected today. It improved greatly by late morning, but not enough. We had expected surface winds late this morning (Saturday) of 3-5 knots (at these low speeds knots and mph are close to the same) and winds at 600 feet of 4-6 knots. Instead surface winds were 4-6 knots and 600 foot winds were 7-9 knots. That's just too much for this delicate system. We will attempt another launch Sunday afternoon. A similar pattern is expected, which means it will be close to being launchable weather.
