Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
High pressure at the surface will build into central Florida from the Gulf of Mexico Florida late Thursday and remain over the area through late Saturday. This will keep us dry for MLP Roll day Friday with light winds and near average temperatures. The surface high retreats into the Atlantic Ocean slightly Sunday into Monday, bringing light winds from the southeast and a slight chance for isolated low topped showers near the coast. Therefore, the primary concerns for both launch day and backup day are the Cumulus Cloud Rule.
