There's going to be some crow eating via the people angry they didn't take Edwards yesteday if this continues to improve at KSC.

It's possibly marginal; still a lot of showers off to the south and southeast on radar. Sounds like they may take this decision down close to the burn time for this rev.

No (agreeing with Chris' post).
So far offshore but concern is that daytime heating may promote showers onshore

I'm in north Merritt Island, only five miles south of the SLF and I have to say it looks beautiful out there this morning!
Unless there are some high winds at altitude, from the ground this looks like a near-perfect morning to try for a landing here.
There are clouds and some rain offshore (
http://cfnews13.com/Weather/Radar/Default.aspx), but those systems currently seem to be heading Northwards, not towards KSC and the Shuttle isn't going to be flying through that area. Lets hope things stay this way.
Ross.

Not sure if it's a usual situation, but thought it was a nice touch that the STS-126 commander is flying the STA for Edwards (no issues) and communicating with his STS-126 pilot (Boe), who's serving as Weather CAPCOM at MCC-H.

1hr 10 mins to the deorbit burn for Op 1 at KSC. So probably about an hour to the decision.

Not foregoing the opportunity at KSC, go for fluid loading, but on a conservative basis as they continue to evaluate the weather.
