Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Surface high pressure will build in across the Spaceport from the north through Saturday, ushering in drier air across the region. An isolated shower may develop near the coast in the mornings, with dry weather expected in the afternoons. Although most areas should see shallow cumulus, there is a small chance of the Cumulus Cloud Rule being violated. A front approaching from the north on Sunday will increase mid/high-level clouds, creating a small risk of the Thick Cloud Rule being violated for the backup day.
