Starlink 4-2 - L-1 Day

An upper-level disturbance over the Central Gulf of Mexico will continue to push a very moist and unstable environment into the state, leading to a stormy pattern for the Spaceport over the next few days. The Gulf breeze will remain dominant, with numerous showers and storms pushing eastwards across the state in the late afternoon and evening. The primary weather concerns for a Saturday attempt are the Cumulus Cloud Rule, the Anvil Cloud Rules, as well as the Surface Electric Fields Rule associated with the evening convection and storm interactions. On Sunday, the breakdown of this upper-level feature will bring a little drier air and lower coverage, as well as allow the east coast sea breeze to move further inland before thunderstorms develop early afternoon. Upper-level winds will remain from the southwest however, bringing any thunderstorm blow off back towards the Spaceport into the evening. Most activity should be winding down by the launch window, but lingering anvils or a few outflow showers reaching the coast cannot be ruled out. The concerns for a Sunday attempt are the Anvil Cloud Rules and the Cumulus Cloud Rule.
