Synoptic Discussion: "Weather is ideal for today's launch operation. Dry air that moved into the area behind the front will produce predominantly Clear skies and light northerly winds locally. Temperatures will remain above average however with Highs in the mid 80's.
"The only concern for today is the very slight chance of a few Cumulus clouds becoming enhanced inland within 10 nautical miles of SLC 41.
"In the event of a delay to Wed, 14 May, conditions worsen only slightly as an increase in temperatures and moisture is expected, increasing the chances of enhanced Cumulus Clouds on Wed afternoon."
