Forecast Discussion
Forecast Discussion: High pressure over the peninsula will slowly move offshore later today and into tonight, allowing for continued dry conditions with lighter and more variable winds. The next cold front is expected to move through the area on Thursday, bringing isolated to scattered showers overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, with dry and cool conditions returning behind the front. For the launch window, high pressure will build back in with gusty northwesterly winds being the only concern. Winds begin to subside as the surface ridge in the gulf builds eastward, so there are no concerns for violation on the backup day. Solar activity remains a watch item due to the ongoing solar flare increasing the probability of space environmental events through the weekend.
