Blue Ring Pathfinder - L-1 Day

A developing area of low pressure situated across the western Gulf of Mexico will bring increasing clouds to Central Florida today and tonight, with upstream observations and model guidance suggesting a higher risk of Thick Cloud Layers concerns compared to yesterday’s forecast for tonight’s launch attempt. This slug of mid-level moisture is expected to get stripped off from the parent low and thin out by Thursday night as surface high pressure builds south into Florida, yielding improved weather prospects for the backup launch opportunity. For booster recovery conditions, seas will build into the 6-7 feet range for the primary window, with similar to slightly lower seas for Friday morning. Winds will be acceptable for landing on both primary and backup landing opportunities although an increase in winds is expected for the backup day.
