Ice has been detected on a liquid hydrogen umbilical on the outboard side of the external tank. It's about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. The Final Inspection Team is headed back to LC-39A to do a photographic assessment. The photos will be transmitted back to the Firing Room where a decision about what to do will be made. So far, it's not known if this is going to be a problem for launch or not.

In other news, the crew module hatch was closed and locked about 10 minutes ago and the closeout crew is in the process of safing the white room and preparation for evacuating the pad area.

The launch team isn't tracking any technical issues that could threaten the launch and the weather is currently looking somewhat favorable with only broken clouds in the area, no anvils and no rain.
