Tomorrow's launch attempt is at 18:01:56 EDT (22:01:56 UTC).  As with today, it carries at 70% chance of Cape weather violating the Falcon 9's launch criteria.

Update

T-1hr 38mins and COUNTING.

No issues at this time.

Weather is 50% GO and 50% NO GO at this time.  A firm maybe from the weather.

Updated rendezvous timeline is available in L2 here: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=48574.msg1970470#msg1970470

T-90mins.

The current radar.  Based on future cast - and assuming no new cell development - this should slid north-enough of the Cape.
