Thanks. I'll report if I see it out here. I estimated I am about 160 miles almost due East of VAFB, but the Mojave Spaceport area skies are clear as usual so there is a chance.

Heh. Guy in the Launch Control Center was shaking his head, then saw himself on the webcast and started laughing.

Pretty awful coverage so far.

Weather is no go per polling.

Seems to be nearly as foggy indoors as out!
Or perhaps the video feed is not quite right

So it's not the weather, it's "an issue" with the Range.

ULA Statement:
Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. (Aug. 2, 2012) – The launch of an Atlas V carrying the National Reconnaissance Office NROL-36 payload was scrubbed today due to a range instrumentation issue. There are no issues with the Atlas V vehicle or the NROL-36 space vehicle and these systems are safe and secure. The launch is rescheduled for Friday, Aug. 3 from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., pending resolution of the range instrumentation system issue. The launch time for Aug. 3 is 12:27 a.m. PDT. The forecast for Aug. 3 shows a 90 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch tomorrow.

Just a point on William's article. South Vandenberg was never named Point Arguello Naval Air Station. It was call Naval Missile Facility, Point Arguello (NMFPA)
