I have been to Florida every year for the last decade and STILL haven't managed to see one go up 
Bought tickets for several launches but they either got delayed or scrubbed altogether - Isn't this the last one?

Weather forecasters are monitoring conditions at Kennedy, but right now a launch would not be allowed because of storms within 20 miles of the Shuttle Landing Facility.

The launch weather rule for lightning is now being violated due to a storm cell to the south. So weather is "no go" for launch at this time.

The storm cell to the south that was violating the lightning rule has moved out. However, there is another cell to the north that's being watched.
Looking good - the cell to the north is small.
