Wednesday's launch weather forecast

The chance of acceptable launch weather is 60 percent on Wednesday for a planned Delta 4 launch of a GOES-N weather satellite. The weather forecast issued today by the 45th Weather Squadron. There are concerns about isolated storms, clouds within 10 miles of Pad 37B and potentially strong winds that could damage the launch vehicle or spacecraft. If the launch must wait one extra day, the conditions worsen. There is only a 40 percent chance of acceptable launch weather Thursday. For now, launch remains set sometime between 6:11 p.m. and 7:11 p.m. on Wednesday.
