But better a series of holds than a disaster...

Sorry, that was 2:49 pm...

What's marginal? Wind?
Somew pretty gusty winds and ,, the palms were swaying pretty good in the webcam shot..
Upper level winds,, at what are pretty low level but they can't afford to pooch kick this payload. They keep trying to pogram the rocket to the profile but.. better to just play it safe.
Here's the jetstream ,btw. I like the colors myself. ;-)
Launch tomorrow.

We've had a stiff (25Mph or so) wind from the south here in Central Fla since around 10AM. Gusts at the coast are said to be exceeding the 33Kt limits.

At this point still on for 305 pm launch

Those clouds floating by are moving pretty fast, they are at pretty low elevation.
