The KSC forecast calls for clouds to be
scattered at 3,000 and 10,000 feet, broken at 25,000 feet; visibility at
7 miles; winds from the east at 13 to 18 knots; a chance of showers
within 30 nautical miles and chance of broken clouds at 3,000 feet. The
24-hour and 48-hour delay forecasts are similar with a greater chance of
broken clouds.
The EAFB forecast calls for clear skies;
winds from the northwest at 5 to 8 knots; visibility at 7 miles and no
chance of showers. The 24-hour and 48-hour delay forecasts indicate a
greater chance of windy conditions.
