Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
The Space Coast is in a pattern of onshore flow, which makes morning showers possible, but limits thunderstorm development along the coast This onshore flow will deepen through the weekend over the Spaceport, which will decrease the threat of thunderstorms as the sea breeze is encouraged to move inland by early afternoon each day. The primary launch weather concern for a late Sunday or Monday evening attempt will be the Cumulus Cloud Rule associated with onshore moving showers.
