Starlink 5-10 - L-1 Day

Expect another very warm day across Central Florida as humidity rises ahead of an incoming frontal boundary. Pre-frontal showers will slide through the Spaceport in the late afternoon and evening hours, with the actual surface boundary passing after sunrise Wednesday morning. Despite the southern placement of the surface front Wednesday afternoon, zonal mid-level flow will keep a deck of altostratus clouds lingering across much of the eastern Gulf of Mexico and North/Central Florida into the evening. As a result, the main concern for the primary launch window will be the Thick Cloud Layers Rule, followed by Liftoff Winds as a distant second. High pressure builds into the eastern US Thursday, bringing clearing skies and veering winds onshore. The only weather concern for the backup launch window will be for Liftoff Winds.
