Galileo L13 - L-1 Day

Several factors are in play for the weather this week. Primarily an area of low pressure spinning off the southeast U.S. coastline will gradually move onshore near South Carolina by Tuesday afternoon. This circulation pattern, along with several waves of upper-level vorticity will help generate convergent bands of clouds and associated showers rotating through most of Florida into Tuesday. Additionally, expect west coast seabreeze convection to make its way across Florida nearing the spaceport Tuesday afternoon further enhancing possibilities for showers and thunderstorms. For Wednesday, drier air will filter into Florida restricting any significant convection from occurring. Primary concerns during the launch windows will be surface electric fields, cumulus clouds, and anvil clouds.
