Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Clouds will increase overnight associated with a developing disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. This disturbance will drag a weak frontal boundary through the area tomorrow night. Expect rain showers and widespread cloudiness along the front before it passes during the window. Therefore, the primary concerns will be the Cumulus Cloud and Thick Cloud Layers Rules. Winds will pick up by the latter half of the window, so the secondary concern is Liftoff Winds. For recovery, seas will remain 4-5 ft for the primary window and increase slowly to 5-6 ft for the backup window with gustier surface winds.
