Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Cloudy conditions with rain showers are expected with onshore flow across the Spaceport. A wave is likely to form in the near shore waters along the Gulf Stream Tuesday, adding a threat of thunderstorms and increasing the depth of the clouds. The primary weather concerns for a Tuesday evening launch attempt are the Thick Cloud Layers Rule, the Cumulus Cloud Rule, and the Disturbed Weather Rule. On Wednesday, the wave may spin up into a low pressure area and pull some of the unsettled weather away as it move to the northeast. The primary launch weather concerns are lingering Thick Layer Clouds and Cumulus Clouds.
