Hmmm. Yeah- I could be interested. Do glassoff's work this time of year? Or would we just be glassing off into a thunderstorm?
Methinks that it won't turn NW until after 3 pm if today is any indication.
Sunset is ~7:20pm.
When were you thinking of going?
Response to below: I've gotta' work. I could swing bolting out of work early to be in the LZ before 5pm or so for a glassoff, but mid morning just messes up my whole day. no can do.
Sure- the humidity will mellow things out a bit-- possibly too much. With a saturated ground and no appreciable NW flow- I'd question the soarability of anything before 2 or 3pm.

Glass off is a possibility and yes they work as long as a storm doesn't blow down on us. I would prefer to hike up late morning andfly mid-day. All of this humidity has got to mellow things out. What do you think?
Wednesday Forecast
Tomorrow looks like a bit of a long shot. NCEP is showing light NW and FSL is showing NE / light and variable. It also could be a fun hike given the heat and humidity, and there's still a 30% chance of afternoon thunder bumpers. Another consideration is the condition of the roads given all the rain. I suspect they could have gotten a bit ugly across some of the washes. But other than that, it sounds like a great day. Still, it never hurts to check the morning update.

Yeah it looks like a hot sticky windless day. We need a high west drive up launch but I think driving to San Diego is out of the question. Oh well it was worth a try.
