On Wikipedia I read that the Vanguard TV3 satellite was originally planned to be launched on September 1957, but countless delays forced it to be postponed to December culminating in its Kaputnik embarassment.

Let's suppose that in an alternate timeline most of the problems for the Vanguard satellite got fixed prior and significant delays are far lesser than OTL. Thus it is slated to be launched in September as planned. Would the circumstances (like weathers) of Cape Canaveral during the 26th of September 1957 permit the launch of that TL's first artificial satellite?

You're free to link the historical weather reports of Cape Canaveral made in 26th September 1957 here too.
