If weather cooperates - there might be an issue. Watch the weather thread.

The weather watch, as per specific thread, is:

"Estimate now - info radioed up to STA - Rain will be 10mi north of slf at landing time
STA confirming to make sure it won't be violation"

Forum now members only to protect servers as we start to get a bit busier now. (Ignore the counter at the top, that is only a sample - we're a lot busier than that!)

Yeah I saw it.  That's speaking in terms of an orbit 238 DOB.  Thanks for the weather updates.  Very helpful.

Looks like she's positioned herself for the DOB.  I noticed she's angled in relation to the orbital trajectory.

STA reccomends the weather is good to go with deorbit!
