Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Dry and noticeably cooler air continues today. For MLP Roll Mon, a low developing off the coast of the mid-Atlantic states will drag a shallow cold front through central Florida in the evening, picking up wind speeds near 20kt. Behind it, scattered low topped showers moving onshore and low clouds are forecast through Tue afternoon with winds remaining breezy from the north. Therefore, the primary concern is the Cumulus Cloud Rule. For backup day Wed, high pressure settles into the southeast reducing wind speeds and shower chances with just a slight Cumulus Cloud concern.
