Forecast Discussion
Deep tropical moisture will remain entrenched across the Florida peninsula into early next week, and as a result, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms can be expected each day, largely favoring the afternoon and evening hours. While atmospheric flow will remain weak enough to allow daily seabreeze development, an incoming trough will likely result in delayed formation and westward progression by Monday and Tuesday, with initial storm development closer to the coast on those days. Once formed, daily storms will move erratically or slowly to the east. Still, given the time of day of the launch windows on both the primary and backup opportunities, the risk of weather violations and the rules involved appear similar.
