Crew has been given a go for Dragon egress so the weather brief at 1100Z must have been good for undock...

SpaceX Dragon Undocks from Station for Splashdown on Sunday

Quote

At 12:05 p.m. EDT, the unpiloted SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked from the zenith, or space-facing, port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module following a command from ground controllers at SpaceX.

After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft will splash down at approximately 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 25, off the coast of California. NASA will post updates on the agency’s space station blog but will not stream the splashdown.

Since they are landing on the west coast, does that mean that the 1:45am is PT?

I believe it's meant to be 1:45 AM ET based on the time frames of these two new NGA notices (one immediately cancels the other):

Caught Dragon leading ISS by 4-5 minutes, more than I would have thought, after undock. Dragon seemed to be flickering slightly. I wouldn't think it would be rotating...

These are the first drogue parachutes built entirely in-house by SpaceX. Tested earlier this year, they include key data-driven upgrades such as stronger joints and ribbons and a re-positioned pack for smoother deployment and inflation

At 10:44pm PDT a @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft completed it mission to resupply the ISS, and splashed down off the coast of Oceanside, CA. The nighttime landing made for an incredible sight for Residents throughout California. Many in SoCal also heard the Sonic Boom as the craft slowed down for landing. I have attached some videos sent in by followers and myself!

Let’s all shoutout @Dillonshrop06 for keeping us in the loop here!
