Shuttle Processing Note: At the tanking meeting this morning, mission

Forecasters predicted an 80 percent chance of weather prohibiting today's
launch due to severe thunderstorms and rain showers within the vicinity of
the launch pad throughout the day. At the Pad, workers will move the
Rotating Service Structure back around the Shuttle for protection from
approaching storms. A meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight to assess
Saturday's weather forecast and determine if a tanking meeting will be held
