In Florida you never know what the weather will do. You have sunshine but across the street a deluge. You have calm and they have 40 MPH gusts. The Ares must be launched before Noon today, or wait until tomorrow or December, or next year. Hopefully, we'll get to see this monster rocket blast off today. If NASA needs more reliance on the weather perhaps a southwest USA location would be better, because rain and clouds are much less frequent there. Look for a launch time of about 11:19 am or perhaps tomorrow.
