Starlink 6-46 - L-1 Day

The pressure gradient between the departing area of low pressure over the Atlantic and high nosing down the eastern US coast will continue to bring windy northeasterly flow along with light showers at times. The low will meander across the western Atlantic through the first part of the week, keeping the breezy conditions in place. Models show an extensive low-topped stratocumulus deck piling into the Spaceport going into the primary launch window Monday afternoon, but it is expected that these clouds will pose little to no launch weather threat as they remain relatively warm and the very dry air above the surface limits cloud growth. Though the next frontal system will be moving through the Central Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, it will remain far enough west as to not be a concern for the backup window Tuesday afternoon. Locally, it will be another day of breezy conditions out of the southeast with a continued cumulus/stratocumulus deck moving into the coast from the Atlantic. High clouds will be on the increase ahead of the approaching system; however, these look to remain too cold and too thin to pose a significant concern for most of the launch window. There will be a small increase in the threat for Thick Cloud Layer violations going later into the window as the cloud cover increases.
