On Wednesday, US Space Force Launch Weather Officer Arlena Moses told reporters there was only a 19% chance of launch on Thursday owing to the threat of heavy rainstorms and lightning. On Friday morning, launch conditions would improve to 50%, Moses added.
On Wednesday, NASA Senior Launch Director Tim Dunne said the space agency had set an upper limit of 31 miles per hour as the highest wind speed in which they would approve any launch.
