A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 7 at 6:58-10:58 p.m. EDT. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches from pad 40. A Falcon 9 will launch the SES-24/Astra 1P communications satellite for SES from pad 40 on mid-June. The next Falcon Heavy will launch NASA & NOAA's GOES-UGOES-Nweather satellite from pad 39A on June 25 at 5:16-7:16 p.m. EDT. The side boosters will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

Is SpaceX anticipating this launch? The US Launch Schedule thread now says it will launch on June 11.
As noted previously in this topic, yesterday CelesTrak posted information about a launch today (June 11) at 21:30 UTC, which was the original date and launch window start time before it was postponed to June 12 with a 21:08 UTC launch window start time. As of right now that information is still in place: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/
The NGA, FAA (both COPA and TFRs), and 45th Weather Squadron all have it as June 12. Though given the 5% 'Go' weather forecast, somehow I don't expect it to launch on June 12 either.
UPDATE #1: @SpaceX has provided new data for the @Starlink Group 10-2 launch, now set for 2024-06-12 at 21:20:00 UTC: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/table.php?FILE=starlink-g10-2. Deployment of 22 satellites at 22:12:53.660 UTC. Data for 9 backup launch opportunities also provided: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/.
I would put the best launch times for jellyfish effects at 8:52 PM, 9:06 PM and 9:08 PM EDT. With a northeast trajectory eastern portions of GA, SC, NC and VA might see it as well.
I'm on NC Outer Banks. Previous NE-bound launch, Starlink 10-1, launched just before 10 p.m....late in the window. Had a nice view from my deck of the 2nd half of Stage 2 flight. It was a pretty sight, but plume was not brightly lit. Hope for better tomorrow night.

The mission was delayed from Wednesday [June 12] for reasons that SpaceX didn’t disclose. Early Wednesday afternoon, SpaceX pushed the planned 5:20 p.m. launch to the end of the evening’s launch window before ultimately scrubbing the mission mid-afternoon. At that time it was obvious preparations were running behind schedule as the rocket [was] not raised [to] vertical launch configuration in time for a launch.

A rare T-0 abort from Falcon 9!
UPDATE #8: Launch Abort. Will provide new data once it becomes available.
Standing down from today’s Falcon 9 launch. A new target launch date will be shared once available
Checking in with the SpaceX recovery fleet for clues, it looks like the Starlink 10-2 mission is standing down and the next mission from SLC-40 will be SES-24.
JRTI droneship appears to be heading to the expected LZ for SES and Doug looks to be returning to Port Canaveral.
Tough week dealing with production challenges and then a rare scrub at engine startup yesterday on 10-2. Unfortunately there is a real issue so we need to go inspect the hardware in detail on this vehicle. Rocket will get set to the side and we’ll pivot to SES as the rocket and payload are ready to rock. Painful, but safety and reliability are the priority.
This will be the first week we’ve gone without a Falcon Launch in a long time. Unplanned downtime due to weather or unexpected issues happens, it’s how we respond that matters. The Launch business takes grit and when things go wrong, our true form comes to life.
Bring it on!!!

According to SFN (https://spaceflightnow.com/2024/06/13/live-coverage-spacex-to-launch-22-starlink-satellites-on-falcon-9-flight-from-cape-canaveral-2/) it was GPS III SV04 on October 3rd 2020. But after watching the video, I'm not sure the engines start up.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Bkf-CU0ROLA
Didn't that happen on the first launch?
Saturday’s launch was aborted when the flight computer detected slightly high pressure in the engine 5 combustion chamber. During rigorous inspections of the engine, SpaceX engineers discovered a faulty check valve on the Merlin engine. The failed valve was replaced on Saturday and after thorough analysis the vehicle has been cleared for launch.

I just did a lot of searching, although there have been previous pre-T0 pad scrubs (> 00:01), this is (IMO) the first time an F9 has aborted post-ignition. If someone comes up with a better answer, I'll stand corrected.

Didn't that happen on the first launch?
Nope, that aborted at T-3 sec. (SOURCE (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=21869.msg600497#msg600497)) but eventually, launch later that same day after recycling and moving some marine traffic away from the flight path.

This may be the first post-ignition abort.QuoteSaturday’s launch was aborted when the flight computer detected slightly high pressure in the engine 5 combustion chamber. During rigorous inspections of the engine, SpaceX engineers discovered a faulty check valve on the Merlin engine. The failed valve was replaced on Saturday and after a thorough analysis, the vehicle has been cleared for launch.

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 1:15 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 5:01 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, June 24 starting at 1:00 p.m. ET.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, mPOWER-B, USSF-124, and seven Starlink missions. (=B1078-11) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Targeting Sunday, June 23 for back-to-back Falcon 9 launches of @Starlink satellites from Florida and California → http://spacex.com/launches
Booster is going to be swapped:

CelesTrak has pre-launch SupGP data for the @Starlink Group 10-2 launch from Cape Canaveral on 2024-06-23 at 17:15:00 UTC: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/table.php?FILE=starlink-g10-2. Deployment of 22 satellites at 18:07:26.280 UTC. Data for 9 backup launch opportunities is also provided: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/.
All systems are looking good, weather is currently 70% favorable, and propellant load is about to begin for today’s launch of 22 @Starlink satellites from Florida
LAUNCH! SpaceX Falcon 9 B1078-11 launches the Starlink 10-2 mission from SLC-40.

Nine Merlin engines up and running and liftoff of Falcon 9!
Staging 1-2.
Fairing separation confirmed. Today’s mission marks our first 20th flight of a fairing half!
Eleven missions complete for Falcon 9 B1078.
After a booster swapout, Starlink 10-2 gets underway through overcast skies.

Breaking the previous record by a mere 20 minutes, this launch at SLC-40 now holds the title for the fastest turnaround time ever.
Fastest turnaround time ever? SpaceX has a long way to go before they set global pad turnaround records.The fastest for SpaceX, of course. Thanks for pointing this out.
For example, E-3 No. 1 (Apr 15 1506:45) and E-3 No. 2 (Apr 16 1607:41) both launched from Site 1/5 only 25 hours apart (in 1960 no less!). A more well-known example that includes 2 fully successful launches is Vostok 5 & 6, two crewed launches less than 2 days apart from 1/5. I also recall seeing some <24-hour turnarounds from Site 1/5, but I don't remember when they were.
