PAO Kelly Humphries repeating a note from earlier about a low pressure system in the Atlantic off the Carolinas...there's a line of precip that's moving towards Florida and the Space Coast, but they should be landed on the 1st rev/opportunity before that even reaches the 30 n.mi. circle.

Would this have potential impact to Endeavour's post-landing flow and/or Atlantis' rollout?

He'll be going out in one of the STAs a little later (about an hour, if I heard PAO correctly).
