Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Weather conditions will be very favorable for both the primary and backup launch windows after a cold front pushes through the area tomorrow. Behind the front, high pressure will build into the southeastern US, and northerly winds will usher in a much cooler, drier air mass. Because of this, there are no significant weather concerns for the primary and backup days.
