Saturday Falcon 1 launch and weather?



As was previously mentioned, the first SpaceX Falcon 1 launch was
delayed 24 hours, to 2100 GMT (1pm PST and I think 9am Marshall Islands
time):

According to current weather reports, it looks like there's an expected
60% chance of showers tomorrow, with 18mph winds:

I know very little about the sorts of conditions similar rockets
typically launch in -- does anybody think the weather might be an issue
for tomorrow's launch?
