Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

A broad area of high-pressure over the central United States will bring northwest flow and drier air to the cape Friday and Saturday. Although the Probability of Violation is slightly higher on the backup day due to a slight chance of a flight-through Cumulus Cloud Rule violation, expect favorable weather for either launch window.
