Starlink 6-5 - L-1 Day

There’s been little change in the broader synoptic pattern over the past few days as the western Atlantic ridge axis remains south of the state, and prevailing southwesterly flow across the Spaceport. Weather today should play out not to dissimilar from yesterday, with early morning storms along the Gulf coast pushing eastwards into the area by early afternoon as well as an active Gulf breeze arriving later into the afternoon. Like the past few days, this brings a few strong storms and heavy rain to the Spaceport. Most convection will end or push offshore within an hour or two of sunset, leaving leftover clouds that will dissipate through the late evening hours. Overall quiet weather is expected for the primary launch window early Sunday morning as offshore flow keeps most nocturnal showers offshore. Weather repeats for the remainder of Sunday with few changes in the pattern. The earlier timeframe for the backup window Sunday evening means a higher threat for surviving showers or storms in the vicinity as well as remnant anvils from earlier activity. These should diminish through the window with a lower threat by late evening.
