What is the prospect of this launch happening?

How will this affect the many cruise ships scheduled to set sail from Port Canaveral on Sunday?

The date and time could change and it should not affect the cruise ship schedule.

Looks like it may be raining on the 10th. If it is I won’t be driving 12 hours like the last one I tried to see that was canceled. I have learned to watch the weather before going.
