A line of thunderstorms moving in now should turn into a Phase 2 lightning warning (if it hasn't already).

New shower has formed right over the Cape (can someone point to me on this exactly where the pad is?) This image also shows every individual strike in the 10 [not 30] minutes. The activity to the west is moving east at around 15mph.

First pad north of the biggest yellow/orange mass over the Cape I believe!

This one never got going so we'll probably have it as the attempt 4 thread too.

For my own minor edification. Does anyone know if the scrub was because weather would not allow fueling to start.

SpaceX says the launch was scrubbed due to a "Potential Concern" found during pre-flight checks.
Was this "Potential Concern" the weather?

OG2 Mission 1 Update: June 22, 2014
Today's ORBCOMM OG2 Mission 1 launch attempt has been scrubbed to address a potential concern identified during pre-flight checks. The Falcon 9 vehicle and OG2 payload are in good condition, and engineering teams will take the extra time to ensure the highest possible level of mission assurance prior to flight. The rocket will remain vertical on the launch pad with the next available launch opportunity targeting Tuesday, June 24. Additional updates will be posted as schedules are confirmed.

Tuesdays weather looks maybe a smidge better. Still odds are higher of no-go unless the window extends into evening.

OG2 Mission 1 Update: June 23, 2014
SpaceX is taking a closer look at a potential issue identified while conducting pre-flight checkouts during yesterday's countdown. SpaceX will stand down Tuesday, June 24 while our engineering teams evaluate further, which will also allow the Range to move forward with previously scheduled maintenance. We are currently targeting the first week of July and will work with the Range to confirm the next available launch opportunities.

OG2 Mission 1 Update: June 24, 2014
The satellites are ready for launch and remain encapsulated in the fairing in a very safe environment. SpaceX engineers are performing the necessary steps to ensure the highest possible level of mission assurance prior to flight. While we were hoping to launch this weekend, we concur with SpaceX's decision to take the additional time. We are launching a constellation of satellites that are intended to provide M2M services over the next 10 to 15 years. If it takes a bit longer, so be it.

OG2 Mission 1 Update: June 26, 2014
We are now targeting Monday, July 14th with Tuesday July 15th as a back-up for launch of ORBCOMM's OG2 Mission 1 pending approval from the Air Force Range. This provides the necessary time to ensure the highest possible mission assurance and allows the Range to complete their previously scheduled maintenance. The OG2 payload and Falcon 9 launch vehicle are in good condition, and engineering teams are moving forward with the necessary steps to prepare for launch.
