Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
An inverted trough will develop and stall along the coast today, helping to generate isolated to scattered showers through early week. Showers near the area will prompt a chance of the Cumulus Cloud Rule being violated during the primary and backup launch windows. Additionally, mid-level clouds moving across the region will increase the POV during the backup window due to the Thick Cloud Layers Rule.
