Forecast for Monday, August 25

Issued: Thursday, August 21 Launch Weather Officer: Joel Tumbiolo, 45th Weather Squadron Synoptic Discussion: "Deep tropical air mass remains entrenched over Florida. Light S-SW steering flow will result in early development and inland penetration of the east coast sea breeze. This will result in a majority of showers and thunderstorms remaining west of I-95 corridor. Weak frontal boundary approaching from the north will be over FL-GA border over the weekend, and dissipate over northern and central FL by Monday. SE flow reestablishes itself on Tuesday as a tropical wave approaches from the SE. This wave is expected to remain south of the area. "Main concerns for the instantaneous launch window will be the proximity of residual cloud cover associated showers and thunderstorms that develop during the afternoon and evening hours."
