Was that low sort of east of Jacksonville forecast? I must have missed the wording but it's easier to spot now on the satellite loop.

No surprises with that one... And as the low continues to drift south, conditions will continue to worsen. I see no hope of the next rev being any better at all.

No storms in the area - but still scattered showers and low clouds should prevent opportunity #2 from being utilized today...

Cloud-to-ground lightning now on the 30mi zone, and showers just east of the landing strip are getting stronger so I'm going to call it a day... I will be around tomorrow morning for another forecast, but will be on the road during the afternoon.

Obviously a much nicer start to the Floridian day but already a few showers forming north of KSC. To be honest I'm not that pessimistic about today, but again predicting storm formation far enough in advance to allow for deorbit burn is just downright tough. Edwards still should be good regardless (at least for the first try.)
I will not be online again until very late tonight.

Just curious - anyone know what KSC's actual conditions were at the time of Friday's two landing attempts?

The post flight conference stated that there were showers within the limits so the call to go to Edwards was fully validated.
