where c_p = 1004.5 for air and Lambda is the sweep angle of the fins

Assuming the rocket reaches a target of 30K ft AGL:
T_static = 59F - .00356(F/ft) * 30000 (ft) = -47.8 F = 228.82 K
Therefore,

T_stag = 228.82 K + (4.9776008*10^{-4}) * (v_2 * cos(Lambda))^2
v_2 = Mach 2 = 2*343 (m/s) = 686 m/s

T_stag = 228.82 K + (4.9776008*10^{-4}) * (686 * cos(Lambda))^2


Dynamic Pressure

Dynamic pressure (q) represents the aerodynamic pressure exerted on a vehicle in motion through a fluid (air). It is defined by the equation:
