Issued: Wednesday, January 18
Launch Weather Officer: 45th Weather Squadron
Synoptic Discussion: "The cold front that passed through the Central peninsula during the early morning hours will continue to migrate south. Northwest winds will gradually decrease and turn more northerly through the afternoon and evening hours. High pressure will dominate the peninsula for tomorrow's launch attempt and winds will be from the east at 12 to 18 knots. The primary concern for launch day is low ceilings moving in from the Atlantic associated with easterly flow.
"In the event of a 24 hour delay, a warm front will be approaching from the south resulting in increased clouds through the day and an increased chance of precipitation."
