STS-41 L-4 Day Weather Outlook
Expected conditions on 10/6/90
Synopsis: A high presssure system centered to the northeast of
Florida will be the dominant feature. A weak frontal
boundry will be across central or south Florida.
This will create the possibility of occasional showers
and ceilings below 8,000 feet. Slightly stonger winds
will reduce the chance of fog. The speed of the
tropcial wave now located 1300 miles southeast of
Florida has slowed and is not a factor.
At 7:35 a.m. on Saturday conditions are forecast to be:
Clouds: 3,000-8,000 scattered
25,000-28,000 scattered
Visibility: 7 miles
Wind: ESE-10 knots, occasional gusts to 16 knots
Temperature: 80 degrees
Dewpoint: 77 degrees
Relative Humidity: 90%
Precipitation: chance of showers
Probabilities of weather criteria violations--
Tanking violation: 0%
Launch weather criteria violation: Saturday 30%
Sunday 30%
Monday 30%
