  Still seven hours, and it is Florida, and you know what they say about Florida weather

• There was some nasty looking weather stuff west of the Cape this afternoon.  NEXRAD shows T-Storms are dissipating.
  
  Rocket might get rained upon before the rain moves out to sea.  I guess it's watertight.

• ULA:
  We are now just four hours from launch. Everything is progressing well and the team is not working any technical issues at this time. The weather is still a concern, but it is trending in the right direction

• Silly question, but I'm wondering what that "fire" is venting from the smokestack thing on the MST side of that lightning mast?  I meant to ask that during the last Delta IV launch from there and forgot about it...LOL.

  Haven't managed to get ULAs new flash working in VLC yet. Annoying as they had a lovely feed before.
