Just on sunrise at KSC. Not very encouraging
Next two TIG's Edwards 19:26:50
KSC 19:43:30
Will work towards Edwards TIG but will keep close eye on KSC to see what daytime heating does.

Any word on intent to land somewhere today (i.e. EDW) vs. waiting until tomorrow? I know how much they like "keeping options open", but I just don't see KSC happening today...
I'll have to keep my options open and hit the road for EDW in the next 30 mins or so...

No official word. The real question will be how KSC looks tomorrow.
If there's a reasonable chance of landing at KSC tomorrow, then that'll move this into tomorrow. If KSC tomorrow looks "dynamic" then the feeling is Edwards today.
You never know, KSC op 2 today might improve.

Only comment so far is two (make that four) posts up. Will work on Edwards but keep KSC open as long as possible.

As Gary noted, Kyle Herring occasionally notes the weather at Edwards. There's less of a need to provide frequent Edwards weather status because in a couple of ways the current weather pattern there is the opposite of KSC -- it's static and it's favorable.

Does not look like it is improving to me, but I am not a meteorologist,

Radar is looking worse. More and stronger rain clouds now around KSC.
