Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
High pressure will dominate over the next few days, with dry air and mild temperatures continuing through the beginning of the week. A mid-week frontal system is expected to stall out to the north of the Spaceport on Wednesday, extending favorable launch weather conditions into the primary launch day. Offshore cumulus clouds are expected for Thursday morning, although chances for violating launch weather constraints remain low.
