Will weather cooperate for Saturday's SpaceX launch?
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - SpaceX is planning to launch its last mission of the year on Saturday after scrubbing an attempt on Thursday, but will the weather cooperate for a smooth liftoff?
So far, there is a 90% chance for liftoff, so that's good news!
"Probability is a 90% of a go for launch! The biggest concern is cumulus clouds in the area," says FOX 35 meteorologist Allison Gargaro. "There is a potential for coastal showers."

But Gargaro says that by 9 a.m., when the launch window opens, showers have moved on and hopefully, we will see a liftoff!
The 3-hour launch window is from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
