Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A cold front will make its way through the Space Coast today bringing showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm or two by the midday hours. Behind it, cooler and much drier air will filter in as high pressure will dominate through the weekend. By late Sunday, onshore flow will slowly increase moisture resulting in a slight chance of low-topped showers off the coast, with the Cumulus Cloud Rule as the only concern. By Monday morning, shower chances increase ahead of another weak cold front, but will pass through the area by the afternoon hours and usher in dry air and very favorable conditions by the launch window.
