Déjà vu? Weather pattern looks similar for Saturday launch attempt
The deep tropical moisture that spawned Tropical Storm Bertha caused those rains and the Wednesday postponement of the SpaceX launch. Keep in mind, as this launch is the United States’ first manned launch in nearly a decade, the checklist of weather worries is much longer. The current forecast includes another afternoon of deep tropical moisture. The forecast models are becoming more specific Thursday, about 48 hours out), it doesn’t look good, with the amount of deep tropical moisture will make the launch a challenging one. If Saturday’s launch doesn’t happen, the weather looks slightly dryer for SpaceX’s next launch window: 3 p.m. Sunday.
