Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Pleasant weather is on tap today as cool air filters into the state behind the cold front, which passed the Spaceport early this morning. High pressure will set up across the eastern CONUS through Wednesday, and then shift off of New England Thursday and Friday. While the weather will be pleasant and sunny, the tight pressure gradient on the southwestern flank of the ridge will create breezy to windy conditions across the Spaceport through the end of the week. The only concern for the primary and backup launch window will be Liftoff Winds.
