The latest weather forecast for KSC calls for a few clouds at 2,000 feet
and broken clouds at 12,000 and 25,000 feet; visibility at 7 miles; wind
from the southeast at 8 peaking to 14 knots; temperature at 75 degrees F
and relative humidity at 91 percent.  The primary concern is the chance of
rain showers within 30 nautical miles of the Shuttle Landing Facility.
