There's a 60 percent chance that weather will be acceptable for launch of Endeavour today or a 40 percent chance conditions will again cause a scrub, according to the briefing given to mission managers this morning.

The forecast for the 6:03 p.m. EDT liftoff time includes showers and thunderstorms inland, a few clouds at 3,000 feet, scattered clouds at 8,000 feet and 25,000 feet, visibility of 7 miles, launch pad winds from the southeast at 8 peaking to 12 knots and a temperature of 83 degrees F.
