Bandwagon-1 - L-1 Day

Strong upper-level ridging is present over the Central Plains today and will push into the SE CONUS throughout the day. This will bring in dry conditions and keep precipitation chances to a minimum. A surface high-pressure center will drape over the Carolina-Georgia coastline by the primary launch window, causing light northeasterly winds and benign weather conditions. A broken deck of upper-level cirrus may cause a Thick Cloud Layer violation, should it dip down to the -20C altitude. For the backup day, wind speeds increase slightly, and become more easterly creating a small chance for a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation with onshore flow. Overall, conditions look very favorable for both the primary and backup windows.
