Artemis II - L-1 Day

Forecast Discussion: Moisture trapped in the low levels of the atmosphere will be continually replenished with breezy onshore flow over the next several days, yielding intermittent showers across the Atlantic pushing onshore, with additional development over land during the afternoon hours. Afternoon shower activity is likely to be further enhanced with the daily afternoon passage of the seabreeze, where an isolated thunderstorm may also form. The bulk of organized shower activity should then retreat to the west side of the Florida peninsula each evening, with lingering showers also across the Atlantic. Thus, the main weather concerns for launch opportunities this week are the extent of showers and their associated clouds as well as continued breezy onshore winds.
