Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Forecast Discussion: A cold start to this morning, but temperatures will gradually warm through tomorrow as high pressure builds in from the west. Wind will also decrease nicely into Tuesday as a result. The weather looks ideal for launch Tuesday evening with a nearly cloudless sky and light winds. For the backup window Wednesday, a new cold front will approach out of the northwest, bringing a slight increase in cloud cover, winds, and rain chances, though POV will remain low overall. Solar Activity will continue to be in the moderate range through midweek due to an ongoing M and X-class flare event.
