Issued: Tuesday, November 2
Launch Weather Officer: Joel Tumbiolo, 45th Weather Squadron
Synoptic Discussion: "Weak frontal boundary will slowly work its way into the Florida peninsula during the day on Thursday. Exact timing of frontal passage remains in question as guidance models handle the front differently. Thin band of moisture ahead of the actual front should be through the area by the beginning of the launch window. Increasing clouds and a few showers can be expected with this band of moisture. Again, uncertainty on the exact timing and characteristics of the front as it approaches the area could result in slight changes in the forecast as the week progresses.
"Main concern for launch will be thick-layered cloud cover and any showers accompanying the front."
