I think I heard them say that there was lightening within 10 mile radius.

Launch scheduled for 3:10pm cst this afternoon
LIVESTREAMS
> SpaceX Stream (recommended to watch within T-minus 14 min.)
> NASAtv Stream (recommended to watch from T-minus 30 min. to T-minus 15 min.)
Importance of this launch
Today, SpaceX will be launching their Dragon 9 rocket in a routine resupply mission to the International Space Station. Included in this mission will be an attempt to re-land the first stage booster rocket onto a barge/landing pad in the ocean. If successful, it will be the first reusable rocket in history.
More Launch Details
The landing target
Yesterday:
This launch was initially scheduled for yesterday afternoon, however anvil clouds (threat of lightning) encroached upon the 10 mile launch radius. This resulted in postponement of the launch to this afternoon.

"Weather is 60% 'go' for today" according to the SpaceX site

Word is that today's barge landing conditions are better than yesterday's.
T-minus 1 hour weather report on NASA TV:
Weather is better for launch today, but anvil clouds are developing along the west coast of Fla. Upper level/pad level winds are all well within constraints.
We are currently GO for all weather criteria
We're only worried about anvil and cumulus clouds around T-0
