From @SpaceX:

T-0 delayed to 2:20 p.m. EST, 19:20 UTC due to upper level wind shear. Continuing to monitor winds and will update as info becomes available.

And from Musk:

Upper atmosphere winds currently 20% above max allowable load. Holding for an hour to allow winds to diminish. #FalconHeavy

We're back! Previous shots of Florida Today panorama. YouTube is counting down to the new T-0 at 2:50 pm local.

T-2 hours 15 minutes. Chris B reported on Twitter that their server hamster died. New hamsters are now working hard. :-)

16 UTC sounding shows pronounced @upperlevelwinds wind shift at 12km. Likely what is worrying the launch team. #flwx #FalconHeavy #FH

Launch now 15:10 EST (20:10 UTC) due to 'clock management'.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #251 on:** 02/06/2018 05:05 pm »

T-2 hours and 5 minutes.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #252 on:** 02/06/2018 05:09 pm »

Just heard over the net: "Clock pushed 5 minutes for 'clock management.'" Not clear if that's another 5mins or confirmation of the previous clock management delay.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #253 on:** 02/06/2018 05:10 pm »

T-2 hours 5 minutes. Looks like they are updating the launch time when they reach T-2 hours.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #254 on:** 02/06/2018 05:10 pm »

Yep. 15:15 EST (20:15 UTC) now.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #255 on:** 02/06/2018 05:12 pm »

Clock now paused. Team is evaluating a new target T0.

Florida Today panning the camera again. Here are the views to the left and right. YouTube is still counting down to the old 3:10 pm local time at T-90 minutes, but that is wrong.

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #257 on:** 02/06/2018 05:42 pm »

15:45 EST (20:45 UTC) is new launch time. Next weather checkpoint is in 20mins.

Steven Pietrobon · « **Reply #258 on:** 02/06/2018 05:45 pm »

T-2 hours. Hopefully for real this time!

ChrisGebhardt · « **Reply #259 on:** 02/06/2018 05:46 pm »

No constraints at this time! ULWs will be monitored.
