FYI...
I saved some images of HRRR model forecasts (valid from 14Z 20170304) thermal height (pbl msl), 80 Wind vectors and speed, Ceiling height and low cloud cover along with the GOES East 1km visible images he

You'll see a 45Meg *.mov of the GOES imagery
Folders contains 10 images (hours) from 14Z to 23Z of pblmsl thermal height, Winds 80meters, low cloud cover and ceiling height.
For those adventurous enough, if you load IDV, you can open the *.zdv bundle and load the original data in for all this data configured for viewing and looping. If you do that, it can be panned, zoomed and new background maps can be loaded. If I had time, I could add a turnpoint gliding database or shapefiles.
Left as an exercise to those so motivated...
Congratulations to those who flew, Dan, Jonny and all!
