Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
The Atlantic subtropical ridge axis is expected to build and move towards southern Florida over the weekend, bringing weak southwesterly flow to the Spaceport through Sunday. Thunderstorm development is expected to be starting as the window closes each day and conditions should be favorable for either window. The primary concern each morning is for a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation, particularly near the end of the window, as the sea breeze forms and moves inland across the Cape.
