For those of you not in the local area you might want to check out the Port Canaveral Webcam to get a good idea of the weather situation that something like Wundermap can't.
I can't post the link due to legal issues.

The NOAA cams? They're great!

Is there a NSF live feed same as for the first launch attempt?

The NSF first live feed was great.

Yes, the very first post of this thread.

Is anyone hearing anything on the MCC Audio channel () - it's been total silence here for about 15 minutes.

Yes - see my post back a page. They are literally only using audio from one person in mission control.

Go to the NASA TV Media stream.

NTV now playing a tribute to the history of launches from LC39-A Saturn-V and Shuttle are mentioned, 82 STS launches from 39-A!

I'm hearing all of the various stations during comchecks on that stream.

Thanks Andy - that's a good sign

Have you heard anything on it that isn't on the Media Channel?

I started the media channel right before the last round of commchecks, so haven't done enough A-B testing to answer.

Add me to the "I really appreciate you sharing your met expertise!" list, please!

ETA: I did hear the weather update on the SpaceX stream first, and the NASA TV media feed second. I did not hear it on the Mission Control Audio channel.

First lightning strikes in the area but these are 18 miles south of the pad and moving east.

Some in-cloud lightning being detected just north of Cape Canaveral.

Breaking down the "white" room. It forms a seal around the Dragon so this has to be removed before the walkway can retract.

If there were to be multiple scrubs, how long can Falcon 9 stay on the pad before they would have to bring it back to the hangar for inspection?

I REALLY hope Dragon flies today. I live in Minneapolis, and rioters, arsonists and looters have come within, oh, 20 feet of my house over the past two days. I want to see this launch, but I may have to bug out and try to get out of state almost immediately after the launch, after which I may not have any access to TV or internet for a few days.

So, wish me luck, eh?

Good luck and Godspeed to the crew, the SpaceX teams and the NASA teams.
Ten years in the making and it looks like today we might get there.

I don't know where he got the info that DM-2 was scrubbed, but the countdown is still proceeding as of now.
