4 good soundings today at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC. Petra and Tyler from OU did the 06 sounding, thank you! It looks like for that sounding the balloon popped at ~170mb.
We were not getting data from the iss3 profiler for part of today but as of now Gary has fixed that.
Weather is clear and cooler, with wind from W/NW.

Weather cooler and cloudier, with high cirrus. Light wind from NW.
A group of four students visited the sounding site for the 12Z launch. We gave them a tour (their English was very good), and they helped launch the balloon. They were a great group and lots of fun. They even have their own weather station:
One of the (adult) guests was from the Centro Ciência Viva da Floresta, the local science center in Proença-a-Nova.
If any of the students find this log entry, your balloon burst at 22.5 km high, -60 degrees Celsius, and you will be able to see a plot of it on this page.
4 good soundings today at 00, 06, 12, 18 UTC, plus super soundings by OU at 03 and 09 UTC. At the 18 UTC sounding we burst the first balloon during filling–it was windy, and I think it blew too close to the tree by the helium tanks. I got the check desiccant warning from the ground check unit so I replaced it after the 18 UTC sounding.
Weather mostly clear with some high thin clouds, increasing wind from W.
I visited the profiler site and all looks ok. All RASS speakers working, A/C working, doors still secured by the lock and cement block, nagios all green, no problems noticed.
4 good soundings by us today at 00, 06, 12, 18 UTC, plus another by OU at 21 UTC for the start of their super sounding.
Weather hot and clear, with light winds.
