And because this is an instantaneous launch window, that means no launch today.

#27This might be the big one folks. Daytime launch with good weather, and calm seas. If things go right, we might see the first rocket landing in the next hour.
Just called on account of weather.

Specifically, there's thunderheads within their no-go radius, so weather called hold. Since it's only a 1 second launch window, there won't be a launch today.
Edit: Next launch window is tomorrow at 4:10pm eastern time. However the weather outlook isn't much better.

If only there were someone working on high-accuracy weather forecast systems for convective systems using existing cheap networked sensors ;). I would love to know how much money I could save SpaceX by providing this forecast more accurately with much more lead time.
What is the cost to scrub a launch due to the weather at the last minute?
