Damn weather! The concern of lightning to the south is low but has been replaced by a stinking cloud to the north.
Also weather concerns at the emergency landing site.

The stormy weather remains around the Kennedy Space Center is now violating the lightning, anvil and field mill rules. The field mills measure the electrical potential in the air.

NASA test director Steve Payne is performing his standard pre-launch poll. However, the Range is "no go" for launch weather conditions and the Mission Control Center is "no go" for the emergency landing site weather.
2234 GMT (6:34 p.m. EDT)
A lightning advisory for the launch pad area has been issued.
11-16 minutes for conditions to clear as at 2340 BST

SCRUB! For the second straight day, launch of space shuttle Endeavour has postponed due to summertime thunderstorms around the Kennedy Space Center.
Tuesday's target launch time to rendezvous with the International Space Station is 6:25:41 p.m. EDT. The time on Wednesday would be 6:03:10 p.m. EDT.
This is the fifth scrub for the mission after two gaseous hydrogen leaks in June and a delay Saturday to check shuttle systems for any harm caused by nearby lightning strikes.

Bump for today.
Teams are at the pad. As at 12:36 conditions are Red due to weather but we've still got a few hours before launch for things to clear up (fingers crossed)
