bad wear in Florida has been triggered by tropical storm Bertha which led to landfall in South Carolina recently. But Bertha storm does t pose a threat to Florida's Coast as it is expected to dissipate soon. As per reports, NASA and X are t just looking for perfect wear to launch Crew Dragon at launch site but also require wear to be adequate downrange in order for astronauts to splash down into Atlantic ocean in a capsule if anything goes wrong during flight. If wear is t favourable for launch to take place, X is expected to push it to first week of June, but details of backup launch windows have been made public yet.
