Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Forecast Discussion: The surface high center slides off into the Atlantic for mid-week, leaving its axis across the Florida peninsula. Winds veering out of the south will bring warmer temperatures and increasing low-level moisture, though not enough for any significant precipitation chances. No significant weather concerns are expected for either the primary window late Wednesday afternoon or the backup on Thursday afternoon.
