Forecast Discussion
Extensive atmospheric moisture currently residing across the Bahamas will continue to be siphoned northwest towards the area around the periphery of the subtropical ridge. Onshore flow will favor night and morning shower activity at the coast, while the East Coast seabreeze gets an early start to its inland journey each day, focusing afternoon storms to the west of the Spaceport. However, the threat for lingering clouds and showers extending into the early afternoon hours over the waters and along the coast appears somewhat higher compared to earlier forecasts. Thus, the main weather concerns for both Launch Day and Delay Day are the Cumulus Cloud Rule and Flight Through Precipitation.
