Weather Update
Vandenberg Air Force Base 30th Operations Support Squadron Launch Weather Officer Lt. Johnny Martin provided a weather update to NASA Launch Manager Tim Dunn and the NASA and United Launch Alliance SMAP launch team a few minutes ago.
There is a 100 percent chance of favorable launch weather with no range safety launch commit criteria violations predicted. At the time of liftoff, there is a slight chance of patchy ground fog, 5-7 mile visibility, winds from the northeast at 8 to 12 knots and a temperature between 48 and 53 degrees.
Currently, upper level winds are “red.” However, Dunn briefed the launch team that there is an opportunity for them to go “green” closer to the time of launch.
