Brian: Launch of Atlantis tomorrow at 2:20 pm.. no weather problems!

Tomorrow at 2:20 pm, Space Shuttle Atlantis will leave Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral for a 12-day mission to the International Space Station. On the mission, they will deliver a Russian built research lab module and a cargo carrier to the ISS. As of right now, we look on target for a perfect launch day.. with a mostly sunny sky in the forecast, temperatures in the low 80's, and an east breeze at 10-15 mph. The only issue might be some low clouds coming in off of the Atlantic, but I think by the time of the launch, most of these clouds should be located west of the launch pad.
