So everything was OK - but that final balloon just couldn't report back green on upper level winds.
9:08am Eastern is the second and final op.

In the history of launching space rockets were there a moment when someone eat his or someone else hat because of launch delay?
How one manage the frustration of such event?

George Diller sounding less optimistic now we're on this second op. Need the upper level winds to go green and need to avoid those anvil clouds heading in.

Red & green combo's are always ugly
Still plenty of blowoff from Gulf of Mexico showers. No lightning anywhere nearby, but I guess they don't want to tempt it.

With the sun now illuminating the clouds on the visible satellite image, they don't look thick enough to me to cause any trouble.

ULA LD permission to launch.
Still plenty of blowoff from Gulf of Mexico showers. No lightning anywhere nearby, but I guess they don't want to tempt it.
