Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Weather conditions will be very favorable for Saturday evening’s launch attempt. Cool and dry air will continue to filter in today as a strong area of high pressure slides in from the west. By tomorrow, the center of the high will be centered directly over the Florida peninsula. While there will be cirrus clouds in the vicinity, it will likely be too high and thin to be an LLCC concern. With high pressure in control, there are no significant weather concerns for a Saturday or Sunday launch attempt beyond a negligible risk of a Thick Cloud Layers Rule violation.
