Here's more info about the Anvil Rule for launches and why it causes a NO-GO: http://weather.about.com/od/thunderstormsandlightning/f/anvi...

The launch is a no-go because an anvil cloud (thunderstorm) entered the 10 mile radius around the launch site. Prior to the scrub there were a few comments about a cloud being close to the exclusion zone but not yet in it.

But they where waiting for the last minute for weather to clear, or was it that just then the no-go condition generated?
