Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

The large high pressure system to the northeast continues to persist through the weekend, resulting in consistent onshore flow for the east coast of Florida. This will bring a fairly steady stream of shallow cumulus clouds throughout the period, along with very isolated showers. By late Sunday the high pressure will begin to weaken and exit to the east allowing a weak tropical trough to enter the region from the south. This trough will bring a much deeper layer of moisture and therefore increased chances for showers and even isolated thunderstorms, especially later into Monday. Primary concern for each day is the Cumulus Clouds Rule.
