Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A weak boundary is slowly eroding today as it runs into strong ridging across Central Florida. This will create showers and thunderstorms mostly west of the Space Coast which should wind down well before the launch window opens early Wednesday morning. However, Gulf Stream showers will begin to work their way towards the Spaceport as the morning progresses. The primary launch weather concern is the Cumulus Cloud Rule associated with these showers.
