“Temperatures should be close to 70 degrees with winds from the south-southwest pretty steady 10 to 15 knots up to 200 feet,” NASA’s Melody Lofon said.
A popular location to watch the launch will not be available this time around.
Jetty Park and Campground will be closed. Crews are still cleaning up leftover debris from Hurricane Nicole and the park won’t be cleaned up in time for the launch.
