Florida Weather Forecast: Ideal Conditions Allow Falcon 9 SpaceX Launch

The ideal weather conditions allowed the Space X Advanced GPS satellite to launch on Wednesday on Cape Canaveral Space Force Stations in Florida.

Severe weather could become a disaster for any plan to launch due to challenging conditions. If the weather becomes problematic, the launch could be canceled and rescheduled.

Perfect weather conditions are important during the launch so everything would proceed as planned.

Recently, Florida experienced colder temperatures, bringing freezing conditions. AccuWeather reported that falling iguanas were seen in Florida.

According to Fox Weather News, the weather and sky in Florida cooperated with the launch, adding that the weather in the region was mild. As a result, no more could disrupt the Space X rocket from reaching space.

The SpaceX launch would help modernize the use of GPS. Lockheed Martin Space said that there are bout four billion users of GPS, from road tracking, buying groceries, and military uses.

Meanwhile, FOX News Weather explained that the modernization of the GPS Satellite is part of the initiative of the Space Force.

On the other hand, CBS News explained that Lockheed Martin managed to build helpful satellites for the Space Force. Lockheed Vice President Andre Trotter said that they still have four satellites in Colorado Facility that can be ready for space launch.

The report explained that the GPS satellites would benefit civilians and the military, adding that the new satellite is more advanced and has better accuracy.

The CBS News report explained that the GPS satellite would help rescue operations during extreme weather conditions or disasters.

In other reports, CNN reported that the new satellite would help monitor Earth's water and other water-related disasters. The mission is Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT), cooperating with NASA and French Space Agency Center.

The report explained that the SWOT Satellite would be vital in monitoring the Earth's water. The satellite contribution provides body water measurables that could assist communities in preparing for flooding.

Weather conditions in the U.S

Although Florida recorded ideal conditions, some parts of the United States have encountered severe weather conditions this week.

In California, many residents began to recover from relentless rain, unloading flooding downpours and mountain snow. However, weather risks are still possible in California. In the South, the weather report added that heavy rain and isolated tornadoes could unfold this week.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service (NWS) recent advisory explained that the Pacific storm could intensify, bringing heavy snow to High Plains and Four Corners.

Heavy snow is expected to be unleashed in the Northeast, Denver and Colorado this week. The weather forecast warned that the blowing snow in Colorado would result in slower commutes and significant travel disruptions. In addition, poor road visibility and icy conditions could lead to travel hazards.

In addition, the NWS' latest forecast said a possible winter storm could be a problem in eastern Colorado and Great Lakes starting Wednesday. The heavy snow is packed with damaging wind gusts.
