Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Surface high pressure will continue to push off the Northeast coast today. Although isolated showers are possible near the Spaceport today, conditions should improve overnight during the primary launch window. A cold front will approach from the northwest on Sunday, helping to increase moisture across the region. While the main line of showers and thunderstorms is expected to clear the area before the backup launch window opens, scattered showers are expected just ahead of the front which could affect the backup launch window.
