Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Overall, launch weather conditions look favorable as ridging aloft and an area of high pressure at the surface move over the Florida peninsula tomorrow. The only watch item is jet-induced cirrostratus clouds streaming into the area, which introduces a small risk of a Thick Cloud Layers Rule violation if the bases are low enough. Upper-level cloud cover will diminish by Thursday as the high slides eastward, and there are no significant weather concerns for the backup launch day.
