Axiom-2 - L-2 Forecast

A wave has formed along a boundary situated across northern Florida. This wave will pull northward though the day, decreasing the coverage of the storms along the Space Coast today and tomorrow. On Sunday, a new boundary will likely be close to Central Florida, again providing ingredients for widespread afternoon and evening convection. Luckily, the prevailing flow will allow the east coast sea breeze to move inland, keeping most storms away from the Spaceport. Upper-level winds will likely push anvils from the inland storms eastward, making anvil clouds the primary launch weather concern with a slight concern for lingering cumulus clouds in the area. On Monday, long range guidance suggests a low pressure area will form somewhere on the boundary, creating messy pattern across Central Florida with widespread convection likely. The primary launch weather concerns for a Monday evening attempt include cumulus, debris, and anvil clouds associated with the thunderstorms. The low pressure area will deepen and move towards Bermuda on Tuesday, creating strong onshore flow at the Spaceport and high winds along the ascent corridor. The primary launch weather concerns for a Tuesday attempt are Flight Through Precipitation and the Cumulus Cloud Rule associated with the onshore flow showers.
