http://www.met.tamu.edu/class/METAR/quick-metar.htmlI'm not exactly sure why all those storms are forming off the coast and moving east... In any case it looks like the bulk of this will stay south of the pad, and if anything the increased cloudiness aloft should keep heating down and keep popup storms diminished.
Computer A: 49%. Computer B: 3%.
Good thing these things are bad - I'd be out of a job if they made it too easy ;>

Everything that would be approaching KSC is dying as it attempts - lightning staying well offshore and not getting any closer.

I believe this was expected. The winds should push the clouds inland later in the day.

A little shower is ready to move over KSC shortly, steady rain and severe weather all staying to the south for now and no signs of that changing. I am a little concerned about the cloud layers coming up from the east but still expect the worst to stay south of Melbourne...

No concerns from my side... Everything lining up quite nicely inland with winds carrying all clouds to the west / southwest as well. Still can't rule out a shower popping up but clearly odds remain against it.

What about the "emergency landing places"? Are there any concerns there?

Latest SMG forecast:
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/smg/SMG_prod.php?pil=OAV&sid=JSC&version=0 FLIGHT RULE VIOLATIONS:
KSC ... NONE
NOR ... NONE
EDW ... NONE
ZZA ... NONE
FMI ... VIS
Still some chance of fog at Istres (FMI), but they only need good weather at one TAL site and Zaragoza (ZZA) seems to be acceptable.

You have a decent radar image for Zaragoza, Rob? I'm assuming they have showers within 30 nmi of the runway...
