Forecast Discussion
High pressure will build across the area today, then a disturbance approaching the region Monday may increase mid-level clouds across the Spaceport as early as Monday morning. This disturbance will generate showers, breezy winds and widespread clouds across the Spaceport late Monday into early Tuesday. The POV is low for the primary launch window, then increases for the backup window with the concerns being the Cumulus Cloud Rule, Thick Cloud Layers Rule and Liftoff Winds. For recovery, significant sea heights will lower to around 5-6 feet for the primary window, and lower even more to around 4-5 ft for the backup window. Winds should remain light, making a low risk for offshore landing weather on both primary and backup periods.
