In a selfish way, I'm happy it was scrubbed tonight. Now I'll maybe get a chance to see it with my own eyes a night or two before heading down to FL to see STS-125. Very good week for me.

They just mentioned it again. It was a downrange tracking issue, should be resolved in the next 30 minutes.

Weakening rain, clear of island, small amount of rain,
A small area of cloud is moving in from Washington, it will be close to WFF at around T-0, and is the main concern at the moment.
A few clouds at 3,000ft, 14,000ft and 25,000ft

Kochina (not sure about spelling) is now green, so the range issue is resolved.
Range is still amber at the moment, but is not working any issue. Everything else is green.
150 minutes until launch.
