Bit of tangent, but watching them manually "re-white balance" OTV 070 for the extreme light changes brings back memories of an old, pre-CCD camcorder.

No launch attempt tomorrow.
Tanking Test instead, right? (EDIT, doesn't look like it).

Now they are telling the folks at the Press Site that the briefing will be no earlier than 7:30 pm EST.
P.S.
Briefers probably diverted to the LCC cafeteria before heading across the street to the Press Site...

If tomorrow is a definite no-go, would they have time to top-off cyro before a hypothetical Saturday attempt?

Depends on whether they have decided to perform a tanking test or not. They can't perform a tanking test if the RSS is around the vehicle.

Not the APUs(Auxillary Power Units)! The Power Reactant Storage and Distribution(PRSD) system storage spheres beneath the payload bay.

40% according to the L-1 day Wx forecast. And there's a dedicated launch weather thread with all this info already!
