Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Low pressure which brought showers to the Spaceport today will gradually shift out into the Atlantic overnight into tomorrow. The extent of showers tomorrow will be less, however another system approaching from the northwest will bring the potential for layered thick clouds to the area by late afternoon. Thus, the main weather concerns for tomorrow are the Thick Cloud Rule and cumulus clouds associated with isolated showers.
