I was so disappointed that SpaceX didn't get to follow through with the launch on Wednesday. If you look at the radar image below, it wasn't a huge surprise they had to cancel. I was a little surprised to learn Wednesday morning they had bumped up the likelihood of launch to 60% because the models were pretty set on scattered storms around that time.
Will it happen Saturday (now scheduled for 3:22 pm EDT)?
Well, at least for right now, it's going to be tricky and perhaps another last minute decision. There will be another chance for scattered storms heading into the afternoon. There is a possibility that much of the rain will end up west of the Cape at launch time, but we will have to see. So much can change between now and Saturday afternoon.
The pattern does change, but rain chances aren't zero.
High pressure does move into Oklahoma and western parts of Texas. That will certainly limit our chances of getting some rain, but doesn't eliminate it. Western and parts of northern Kansas will be located close to a warm front, and a few storms may pop up during the evening. Whatever does develop will be very isolated.
Have a great day. I will post a June outlook very soon. In the meantime, get ready for sunshine and some early summer weather.
