The Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. local time, 20:30 Greenwich Mean Time. Chances for launch at that time are not good, with weather forecasts predicting thunderstorms and 50% chance of precipitation. The forecasts predict better weather by Tuesday, though it will still be cloudy.

Leaving the shuttle at the launch pad seems pretty risky. Either they have a favorable weather report or they don't think they can make the end of the launch window if they go to VAB, I guess.
