SCRUB!!!
Interesting that they'd continue with a practice count. It scared me when they did it yesterday. I thought I'd missed it.

all three camera sites currently have hourly forecasts of "clear" (weather.com) or "mostly clear" (accuweather.com) for the entire launch window tonight, which is about as optimal as we're likely to get before the rain moves in this weekend.
but if i've learned anything from this site, it's to not take weather web sites at face value.
what sayeth rdale?

Does look better than before... I can see fog coming but tonight it may wait until closer towards daybreak tomorrow.
