A 30 to 40 percent chance of rain tonight and tomorrow morning has been forecast. If the external tank is loaded and rain falls on it, ice could develop which would threaten the tiles. But officials are hoping to launch tomorrow as there is more bad weather ahead later in the week. Also, crosswinds in excess of 12 mph at the abort runway at Cape Canaveral would force postponement of the flight. Engle and Truly say they want to fly tomorrow, ``even if it means sitting in the cockpit until noon.''
