Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Surface high pressure will remain to our east, with the ridge axis lingering south of the FL peninsula through the end of week. Although sea breeze showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop in the afternoon and evening near the Cape, most of the spaceport should remain dry during the primary and back-up launch windows. There is a small chance an isolated shower could develop each morning, and with associated clouds, the Cumulus Cloud Rule may be violated.
