It's every 4 days, isn't it? So 4/22?
they use helium for turbopump spin up, right? Or was this for the helium tanks for the legs?

Synoptic Discussion:Weather will begin to deteriorate Tuesday as a cold frontal system moves into the area with widespread clouds, rain and isolated thunderstorms. There is also a slight chance for hail and severe winds. The front should clear south of the Spaceport on Wednesday, allowing clouds to diminish. Temperatures will struggle to reach the mid 70’s as strong northeasterly surface winds remain through Thursday. On Friday, models indicate a wave developing in the Gulf of Mexico and moving over Central Florida. Thick cloud cover and periods of rain and isolated thunderstorms are typical with these systems. Maximum upper level winds will be 70 knots from the west-northwest at 43,000 feet.
