Discussion
Following Monday’s cold frontal passage, the weather quieted down on Tuesday and it’ll stay relatively nice today with plenty of sunshine and warm conditions; however, an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out; primarily, across northern sections. The weather will become more unsettled again as we head towards the end of the week and we’ll have to monitor Tropical Storm Cindy now over the Gulf of Mexico (latest winds at 60 mph). This system is likely to continue on a general northwest track today and make landfall early tomorrow near the Louisiana/Texas border region. One final note, NASA/Wallops postponed last night's scheduled sounding rocket launch until Saturday evening at the earliest.
