Velocity looks good for HG :) will you be bringing that or only the PG?
However cloud cover looks to be persistent and very low... I might give it a go if it gets better

Interested. I would like a to get 2 or more short flights for takeoff, pattern and landing practice. Maybe some other H2s would like to go?

Forecast is looking better-- only 30 percent chance of rain-- and mostly in the morning. Right now I'm planning on only bringing the PG.

Be aware that there is still high grass in LZ. From launch, the left cut out is mowed but only to the top of the hill. I think the fields across the road may be fine.

It's probably going to be too light for HG and cloudy - no thermals. I'll stay home tomorrow.
Yeah, the grass was high last time in the main LZ so I landed across the street, plenty space there.

The surface forecast has changed from calling for rain in the morning to possible rain in the afternoon. That's a little discouraging. So is the idea that the ground might be wet which is a problem for setting up a PG. On the other hand it's been a while for me and any safe flight would be a good one. I'll wait to hear from Matthew.

The entire mid-Atlantic is decked over in low clouds -- chance of rain throughout the day is up to 70 percent. So I'm bailing on Bill's. Might go kayaking in the rain.
