Forecast Discussion
Another wet day is expected as deep tropical moisture pools across the Florida Peninsula south of a lingering trough. This pattern will continue above normal rain chances for the state through the week. With south to southeast flow, scattered morning showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected across the coastal waters during the initial launch window. Late in the window, the sea breeze may begin to generate showers and storms along the Space Coast. The main concerns will be for the Cumulus Cloud Rule and Anvil Rules. Deep moisture will continue for the backup launch window on Thursday, with southerly flow remaining. Aside from some subtle meandering of the trough, the pattern largely remains the same, so a matching POV is in order for the backup launch window.
