It started raining here at noon. Even the president left 30 minutes before the rain started. It's currently raining at a rate of half an inch per hour. There is also a lot of wind, and pilots are having difficulty landing.

Holy Cow, going into a storm, with large waves and head winds of 35-65 knots? Good luck and strong stomachs.

T-24 weather update coming tomorrow.

Just FYI. The pressure gradient is tight causing some high winds, not only surface-level winds up high altitudes.

The attached screengrab comes from the NWS discussion.

The second attachment is the marine forecast near the landing zone. Expect a tricky landing and holding the LV on the deck with 6-8ft swells at 16-second intervals.

I live just a few blocks from this, scary. This was once the Los Angeles River before it was diverted by an earthquake in the 1800's. Now called the Ballonia creak, it's deep about 30 feet from the bridge to river bottom. The watershed that this river arrives from is all of the Westwood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica mountains above these cities up through downtown Hollywood. It's a large area and we are getting 1/2 inch of rain per hour with no end in sight.

It's located in DelRey, just north of LAX and east of Marina del Rey. This bridge is Centinella Ave. My condo is the little home icon on the map attached

Keep an eye on the model for Wednesday evening. I screengrab and attach below the tweet. Another front arrives at VSFB right at the current (planned) launch time. For the backup (Thursday) it's in between storms, kind of ify right now. I try the model again on Tuesday.

IF that change is correct, it limits the launch opportunties to the final three:

Launch: 2024-02-07 05:01:50 UTC. Deploy: 2024-02-07 06:04:20.440 UTC.
Launch: 2024-02-07 05:15:50 UTC. Deploy: 2024-02-07 06:18:20.440 UTC.
Launch: 2024-02-07 05:37:50 UTC. Deploy: 2024-02-07 06:40:20.440 UTC.

I haven't seen any confirmation yet. CelesTrak still has the full set of 16 launch opportunities and there's still no SpaceX mission webpage.
