I am not in the area but well to the SE. I hope the shuttle launch goes off given the current forecast, it may or may not. I don't think storms and launches mix all that well.
The NWS land forecast:
Friday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 89. South southwest wind between 10 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
Friday Night: Scattered showers and thunderstorms before 11pm, then isolated thunderstorms after 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 76. South wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
