They said only 20% chance of weather constraints for the 11:00 ET projected launch time.
Ares I-X test launch
- Thread starter GreatWaves
- Start date
15:00 GMT. 
Weather permitting, obviously, and I'm not sure it's going to be permitting. But we'll see.
If this launch doesn't go today or tomorrow, you might still get your 'giant Roman candle' fix. Arianespace are planning an Ariane 5 ECA launch tomorrow night (Between 20:00 - 21:40). I don't particularly rate Ariane's coverage (it's too commercial and full of interviews and whatever else), but nonetheless, it's there.

Coming off the 4 min hold!
Could be 4 mins from launch now. *crosses fingers*
I didnt hear the weather "green" just all the technical teams giving the go.

I too heard the poll for coming off hold, but I don't think that meant that they are coming off hold sooner than the predicted time.
Oh... just heard that weather is no go again... that new Tribo stuff again. It was looking green before.

And this is why we need a Moon base. No damn Triboelectrification inducing weather there! Just the odd clanger wandering into the launch box.
