It's now marginal and they're looking at one particular storm active 30 miles to the west. It's the same one I spotted on the radar feed and it seems to have moved away a little (17 miles at the eastern edge). Time to cross fingers.

Well, that's that then. 
Just one big storm in the wrong place...
The launch pad is in the centre of the yellow circle, and it's that big clump to the west that's caused the problem.
Next launch attempt would most likely be at around 20:25 BST tomorrow.

One very unhappy looking weather officer there.
We'll get the call in about 1 minute from now.

They can only afford to hold until 20:44. At that point, 9 minutes would put them out of the launch window. From what I can tell, it's getting worse not better.
Depends where it is. They may not be able to get at it on the launch pad (without rolling the RSS back round, and there isn't time for that).
They will try again tomorrow, get to T-9, and scrub, just like today. After that, it's Tuesday (and another 60% chance).
Chances of a no-go due to weather
Today - 70%
Monday - 60%
Tuesday - 40%
Wednesday - 60% at least
Tuesday looks like the best day, but bear in mind yesterday was 40% too.
Personally, I think they should scrub today and go for Tuesday, but I understand their desire to get off the ground, so we'll just have to wait and see.

LOL. Just showed a board full or red indications. Wasn't quick enough to grab it. With that lot working against them, the only way they're going is if someone goes up there and moves the clouds out of the way. 
They can have mine if it'll help.
Yup, especially as I've previously said, it's been struck once already this week, and the old 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' thing is of course utter tripe.
Look like an employee nearly panicked there. Went after the lift thinking it'd stuck.
What was that about pictures being worth 1,000 words?
Standing by for an announcement. That probably means they're going to scrub early today.
That image has been through so many filters and godknows what, I had trouble making it readable at all. 
Scrub confirmed.
Next attempt on Tuesday. Launch time around 19:38 BST

Well, at least they did it early today rather than keeping us all on the edge of our seats until the last minute. I'd imagine the astronauts will appreciate that too as barely being able to move in those seats can't be that comfortable.
Oh yes, and it'll be 4th July when they try again. Let the conspiracy theories commence.

Launching next Wednesday would suit me.
We'll have to see what the MMT come up with. My guess is they'll want to fix it.

MMT conference no earlier than 1PM. I'm sucking more bandwidth in anticipation.
