Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

High pressure over the southeastern states will continue to dominate the weather pattern through the weekend and into early next week. Onshore flow will be breezy through Sunday but should remain below liftoff constraints for the launch window. Coastal showers are expected throughout the day today with drying overnight, but some isolated low-topped showers will linger through tomorrow. The primary concerns for both days will be Liftoff Winds and the Cumulus Cloud Rule. For recovery, latest model forecasts have improved for the primary day, with deteriorating conditions for the backup window.
