I am interested in Bristol early on Tuesday.  The NOAA forecast is the most optimistic.  Some of the models have it too southerly and most of them forecast it being blown out by noon. I'd suggest getting there even earlier (7:30 or 8 am) if possible given that by noon it could be blown out.  I am always amazed at how long it takes up to get to the launch,  hike in, set up, etc.) 
Dansville's Tuesday forecast now looks too southerly in the early morning when the wind speed is low enough. Later in the morning it gets SW at Dansville,  but too strong.

Rob and Bob are thinking about meeting in the Bristol LZ at 8 am on Tuesday,  June 25. We will check the weather at 7 am and post a plan for flying or not flying at that time. Anyone else interested?

It was saw from 9 to 11 this morning. We waited for it to come around more west but it didn’t budge.   We both tried launching once and the wing came up turned 90° and collapsed
