Forecast Discussion
Primary weather factor the next few days is an area of low pressure developing off the northeast coast of Florida over the warm gulf stream waters. As this system deepens and moves north-northwest approaching the Carolinas coastline the circulation will generate convergent bands of clouds and associated showers rotating through most of Florida. Additionally, localized seabreeze convection is expected to develop with boundary collisions probable near the east coast of Florida later on Monday. For Tuesday, as the low migrates northward, 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.
