All systems were "go" for the United Launch Alliance rocket and NASA spacecraft, and clouds and showers crept too close to Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 17B.
But high-altitude winds that could have pushed the rocket off course proved too strong to allow a launch at either 8:37 a.m. or 9:16 a.m.
On Friday, NASA's $496-million Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission, or GRAIL, has two instantaneous launch opportunities at 8:33 a.m. and 9:12 a.m.
The forecast is the same as today's: There's a 40 percent chance of conditions favorable for launch, with thick clouds and showers possible.

Should read, "showers DID NOT creep too close.."
