Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A boundary is slowly pushing through Central Florida increasing the afternoon and evening thunderstorm coverage and strength. This boundary will be mostly south of the Spaceport by Sunday’s launch window, creating less thunderstorms coverage. The primary weather concerns for launch attempts Sunday and Monday evening will be the Cumulus and Anvil Cloud Rules, and the Surface Electric Fields Rule associated with the day’s convection. Depending on localized convective interactions, the storminess should diminish through the launch window.
