NASA Crew-2 - L-1 Day

A large area of high pressure is centered near Arkansas, creating gusty northerly winds along the Space Coast due to the pressure gradient between the high and the departing boundary. By Friday morning, the high center will move over the Carolinas, allowing winds to diminish and turn easterly at the Spaceport. The primary concern will be Flight Through Precipitation from isolated, low-topped coastal showers and onshore flow. As the high pressure area continues to slide east, a new frontal system makes its way into the southern states on Saturday, pushing off the coast Sunday. This will bring another front through Central Florida with isolated showers and thunderstorms over the weekend. High pressure will build into the area on Monday the 26th, pushing the unsettled weather south of the Spaceport as dry air filters in. The primary weather concerns for a Monday morning attempt are Flight Through Precipitation and the Cumulus Cloud Rule in the event the boundary lingers in the area. On Tuesday, high pressure continues to move east, positioning itself just off the South Carolina coast. This position will make easterly winds along at the Spaceport and keep conditions favorable. The primary launch weather concerns remain Flight Through Precipitation and the Cumulus Cloud Rule.
