• Not surprising, a 10 day turnaround would be so tough to do. I would assume that the static fire would slip to the right by about the same margin?

• We're aware. Updated the thread title.

• Lets try this again. Static fire currently scheduled for April 22.

• Converted into the launch day update thread.
  
  Static Fire was good. LRR was passed.
• #35 by FutureSpaceTourist on 26 Apr, 2015 20:04
• And yet again no change to launch probabilities in updated forecast.
  
  I expect things will change tomorrow once the position of the boundary referred to is clear.

• Still no probability change in today's forecast. Sounding more hopeful storms will clear towards end of launch window.
