Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A frontal boundary in the Southeast U.S. is helping nudge the Subtropical ridge axis south of Central Florida. This creates southwesterly flow over the Space Coast and pins the sea breeze close to the Spaceport, keeping any locally developing showers and storms close and allowing any showers and storms that develop inland to move east towards the launch area. T he first half of the launch window is more favorable each day, before the main weather risk of Cumulus Clouds begin to develop towards midday.
