The main concern is occasional ceilings below 8,000 feet. The direction of movement of a low pressure system currently located in the Carribean is uncertain. Should it move northward, launch weather will deteriorate. A better forecast of its position on Sunday will be possible tomorrow. Currently, between 1:28 a.m. and 3:58 a.m. on Sunday morning conditions are forecast to be: Clouds: 4,000-7,000 scattered stratocumulus 8,000-11,000 altocumulus 28,000-33,000 scattered cirrus Visibility: 7+ miles Wind-Pad 39B: NE/10-16 knots Temperature: 62 degrees Dewpoint: 60 degrees Humidity: 92% Precipitation: slight chance of showers Probabilities of launch weather criteria violation: Sunday 30% Monday 40% Tuesday 40% Developed by Cape Canaveral Forecast Facility USAF Air Weather Service 11/28/90 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
