Issued: Monday, February 2
Launch Weather Officer: Darren W. Murphy, 45th Weather Squadron
Synoptic Discussion: "Thursday will be warm and mostly cloudy with an approaching low-pressure system that is expected to move northeast into Alabama and Georgia. The system is forecast to slow and stall before reaching our area, but moisture levels indicate a
considerable cloudiness with showers in the vicinity. Winds are expected to be gusty. The weakened front passes through on Friday but still gives a higher probability of violating launch constraints with clouds and showers and some possible lightning. Saturday most of the front and associated moisture will be to the east of the Cape."
