Elsewhere in space, the ISS crew is awake and CAPCOM is configuring to stream the Cygnus launch to the crew live.  The Russian part of the DPC was self described "as the shortest ever."

From the 45th Space Wing:

Quote
The upper level wind issue is not a problem with the winds aloft, but a glitch in the computer system which analyzes weather balloon data and crafts a flight profile for the Atlas 5 rocket to steer itself through the atmosphere and contend with changes in wind direction and velocity with height. #AEHF3

Depending on the launch time the crew might have a view of the Atlas launch.  They are starting an ascending orbit with a nightime pass over central Florida.
