Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
A large area of high pressure is expected to slowly move across the eastern seaboard through Saturday, bringing onshore winds and fast-moving, light coastal shower activity to the Spaceport Friday and Saturday morning. Although a few storms that develop inland may move near the Cape in the early morning hours, they are unlikely to be a concern by the opening of the launch window. Additionally, any thunderstorms that develop off the coast should move further offshore, making the Cumulus Clouds Rule the most likely weather constraint violation for both the primary and backup day.
