A more recent SMG forecast...looks like they've removed the chance of a crosswind violation at KSC from the forecast (at least for now).

I questioned that from the get-go anyways... I'm "mildly" more optimistic given the current radar picture, and my analysis of the morning data not showing quite enough convergence (winds coming together) to kick off widespread showers and storms. I'm definately on the "good" side of 50/50 now

Sounds good. Such a smooth count right now, would be a real shame to have to scrub due to weather.

I would think it would be disappointing not to get a chance to launch, but validating that the feed-through connector changes worked is still a good thing.

Why does the weatherman always take the blame for bad conditions
It's not like we throw a Frosty on the news guy when gas prices go up :bleh:

What about low/mid-level winds? Those clouds on NASA TV right now sure appear to be "cookin'".

The term "weatherman" sounds like someone accountable
Looks like things are getting a little more exciting of the west coast, little nasty heading NE.. any impact? or will it arrive late

Low level winds are 15-25kts, stuff west of Tampa Bay is moving northeast so no direct impact but if it develops into storm action then we worry about anvils.

Front is not moving much at all, absolutely no precip in the area -- I'm feeling better!
(Plus I need something to cheer me up - I broke my snowblower on a rock and have 60 feet of driveway with 8-12 inches of snow to shovel!)

How about the cloud decks? They just went RED on the ceilings.

Just noted by PAO that they could go back and forth from RED to GREEN on clouds and ceilings...

so do we have a Rob probability for launch ?
( may just need to replace the shear pin on that snowblower )

It's not an overcast deck - so they'll be in-n-out all day.
Storms just now firing WELL offshore of Tampa Bay (good) but due to strong winds aloft the anvils are streaming far in advance... Anvil rules are tricky so don't get too worked up.
Yet.

Thanks for all the updates Rob. Fingers crossed on the weather. At least the winds slowed down.

Yes, it's been good to follow the updates on the weather here.
"Hi, I'm Kathy Winters and when I'm checking my launch weather conditions, I always cross reference with RDale, on NSF."
Chris, make it happen

Shower forming west of Orlando, it's path would keep it out of the 20mi zone and doubt it'll get lightning.
