Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Continental surface high pressure will build across the state overnight into tomorrow, yielding increasing winds but clearing skies. Breezy to windy conditions are expected tomorrow although winds will begin to diminish towards sunset. Thus the weather concern for launch day is liftoff winds. For delay day, dry and clear weather will continue with light winds.
