Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A broad area of high-pressure over the central United States will continue to bring northwest flow and drier air to the cape Saturday night. There is a slight chance of a flight-through Cumulus Cloud Rule violation on the primary day. By Sunday night, winds should shift more onshore, increasing the potential for onshore showers and a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation on the backup day.
