U.S. Space Force 45th Weather Squadron weather officials continue to predict a greater than 90% chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for liftoff of the Crew-5 mission based on Falcon 9 Crew Dragon launch weather criteria. The primary weather concerns for the launch area are the cumulus cloud and flight through precipitation rules. Teams also will monitor weather conditions both for the launch area and downrange for the flight of Dragon, which still remain a watch item due to high winds from the remnants of Hurricane Ian along the mid-Atlantic coast.
