Forecast Discussion
High Pressure is building back over the peninsula today and will persist through the end of the week. Northeasterly winds this morning will shift more easterly today and southeasterly by tomorrow afternoon. Dry, stable conditions will continue through at least Friday with only a few isolated showers expected each day at seabreeze initiation, which should move well inland by the launch window. Nevertheless, a stray onshore moving shower can’t be ruled out, so the only concern is for the Cumulus Cloud Rule violation. On Friday, moisture increases marginally as the ridge slowly breaks down, so there is a slightly higher chance of a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation during the backup window.
