Forecast Discussion

Space Launch Delta 45

Forecast Discussion: The ridge axis that has brought onshore flow to central Florida for the past several days will settle in over Central Florida by Sunday. This will cause less pronounced southeasterly flow over the Cape and convective development along the east coast sea breeze to occur closer to the Spaceport. On Monday, slightly drier air will decrease the chance for afternoon showers. By the primary launch window, light southerly wind and a few cumulus clouds are all that is expected. Very similar, albeit drier, conditions are expected for the backup day.
