The weather forecast, however, now calls for an 80 percent chance that rain and thunderstorms would keep the shuttle grounded on Thursday. There is a 40 percent chance bad weather would prohibit external tank propellant-loading operations, which would pick up about 6 a.m.
The bad weather is expected to clear late Thursday, and the forecast for Friday calls for a 60 percent chance the weather would be acceptable for flight. Winds are expected to pick up and Saturday's forecast calls for a 60 percent chance conditions would prohibit launch.
So, it looks like Friday is going to be the better date...
