KSC looks to be improving
Fingers crossed on that. I'd love to think that, if they land at EAFB they'd reflect on the safe conclusion of the mission on the evening news for fifteen seconds... not on the 1.7 million it costs the program extra to take the shuttle back to KSC (which you KNOW will get metioned!).
Will be keeping my eye peeled on this thread, as I can't really open the NASA TV site here at work for the length of time I'd like to... I have worked over a bit this week, so i am hoping to head home early today to catch the entire descent live.

Looks like NASA's STA with some guys in blue jumpsuits are getting ready to take to the air at Edwards.

State of play (remember, let's keep this on updates. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference to read posts of how people are keeping their fingers crossed)
):
Atlantis, merrily on orbit with no issues.
STA back in the air now, for the assessment of KSC. If KSC still looks no go (and this will be a slightly earlier call), then they will go with Edwards opportunity 1 (providing Edwards is good) on the same rev.

1620 UTC EAFB view:
Looking very nice over there at Edwards! My money's on a California landing today...
Well I give a 25% chance KSC and 99% chance that this next landing opportunity will be a land regardless.
It seems the showers are moving a bit away and we still may stick around in this clearing long enough.

STA:
"Coming down to South to take a look at other buildups
"220 at 13 biggest buildup (no idea what that means)
STA at 14,000, buildup is well above STA
"Weather at 33mi on radar."
KSC has a chance right now!

It's either SOFIA or one of the SCAs in the background in this shot:

Edwards weather officially classed as go at this time.
KSC is no go.
STA over Titusville "Stuff to west of river moving east and building. South of cape building as well."

I thought SOFIA was a 747SP, but that doesn't have the outrigger tails on it that the SCA's do.
Build-ups are cumulus clouds that could turn into storms.

SOFIA is a 747SP, the short fuselage baby 747 - the one in the screenshot looks a bit too long so she must be a SCA.

Lindsey in STA at KSC: "Stuff to south we think it's building ...it doesn't seem to want to get out of the way here."

Judging by the markings on that STA, I think its N946NA.
