The weather in Florida is not too good for landing today. It looks like they'll stay up another day. Atlantis can stay in orbit until Saturday to land at KSC. The alternates are Edwards and or White Sands.
**Update Shuttle doors were ordered closed to start landing proceedures:
The landing times today would be either 1:55 p.m. or 3:30 p.m., if there's a sudden clearing of low clouds and predicted thunderstorms fail to materialize near the runway.
