The Twin Otter is still scheduled to fly one of its Surface Characterization mission, measuring surface temperature over various land surfaces in Oklahoma. The Gulfstream-1 will still fly, but timing depends on the exit time of the Twin Otter. When the Gulfstream flies directly over the Central Facility, tethered systems will be brought down to 60 meters. Cloud bases are rising and clouds are decreasing in thickness as we speak. Things look very good for clearing for Water Vapor IOP activities tonight.
Winds are light enough now for tethersonde flights.
These clouds are expected to break up as the day progresses. Clearing should dominate by this evening. Light northerly winds will become lighter and variable by tonight. Friday should be sunny with some cirrus moving in from Hurricane Nora, with continued light winds. Cloudiness also needs to begin breaking up and dissipate for this to be a successful mission.
