Starlink 6-88 - L-1 Day

Forecast Discussion: An upper-level trough and surface low will drag through the Deep South today and emerge into the western Atlantic off the Carolina/Georgia coastline by nighttime. The associated cold front will unfortunately move through Central Florida during the launch window. Model solutions have great agreement on timing with the worst weather likely occurring at the front of the window, as band of showers (that likely triggers the Cumulus Cloud Rule) moves through around midnight. There is also good model agreement for improvement into the window, with lingering thick clouds being the main concern by the end. POVs on both ends of the window have been adjusted accordingly as a result. Winds will also be gusty but likely below threshold. For the backup launch opportunity Sunday night, the Space Coast will be post-frontal, but lingering mid-level clouds from the Atlantic may drift onshore with the north-northeasterly wind flow. This may trigger a thick cloud threat, though clouds will be scattered in nature.
