Forecast Discussion
Space Launch Delta 45
Forecast Discussion: A surface ridge of high pressure will remain just south of the area today before transitioning north into late week. Locally, light and variable winds today will become onshore tomorrow with continued light speeds. Moisture trapped near the surface may result in another round of late night and morning fog and clouds tonight into early Thursday, but otherwise dry and warm conditions will prevail over land. The pattern and depth of moisture may be sufficient to trigger a few showers across the Atlantic waters both Thursday and Friday, but these are likely to remain well offshore.
