Originally, this looked like a great day for flying with tons of steerage (hard right near the surface). A series of tasks were called including a pilot declared goal, a fly in task, and a fly on task. After launching a pibal, we noticed a low deck of stratus starting to develop. We continued on, keeping our eyes to the sky as the deck continued to thicken. We scouted out a launch spot, and began to cold inflate. Just as we began adding heat to the balloon, the task was called due to the fog that had developed across the area. Attached are a few pictures of the group with deflated expectations. Also included is a picture of a Texas critter that decided he wanted to go for a ride. Plans are to head to the zoo today, hoping for more flyable weather soon!
