Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A surface ridge extends across the southeast US while a weak area of low pressure slowly drifts northwestward through the Bahamas. Little change in local weather is anticipated Monday, but a cold front will move rapidly southeast out of the Tennessee Valley and towards Florida by late Tuesday. Atmospheric moisture remains shallow but sufficient to bring some cumulus clouds onto the coast from the neighboring Atlantic the next couple of days. These clouds are the main weather concern for the primary and backup launch opportunities.
