They start in the morning, Central Time (so a couple of hours).

Do you think NASA will issue a press release stating their decision on a tanking test?

I'm not sure why they'd need to.

More drama. NO tanking test for STS-121. Heated PRCB. Live updates on L2.

Florida Today have their version up on their flame trench...although after ours (and that'll go on Space.com etc.etc.etc.)

Very happy with our turnaround on this, which is all thanks to the sources (who I know are reading this, so here's an unnamed thank you).
