ELV Countdown Portal now showing what looks like weather radar for FL. If I'm reading it right, there's rain tracking away to the east and also to the south; nothing in the Cape area though.

L-60 minutes.

Vehicle working no issues that we are aware of.

Topping on LOX, as per normal. T-13 mins is the next major milestone - polling for terminal count, that begins at T-10 mins.

(PS During the webcast, anyone can add *upload* screenshots - the more the merrier. Ensure they are timely - otherwise they'll be out of sync with the events, and .jpg, not .png).
