Cool and clear before dawn, near 50°. A band of cloud passed over the Cape around five and six in the morning and then the sky emptied, the air warming fast to about 75° by ten and 80° by two in the afternoon as the countdown ran. Clear at liftoff. The evening cooled slowly under an open sky, near 69° by eight, the boosters back on the ground.
