Lousy weather in Florida is forcing NASA to divert Space Shuttle Discovery to Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California.

There are two landing windows, with the first occurring at 5:53 p.m. today.

From the NASA press release: A strong sonic boom could be generated along the shuttle's route of descent along Southern California coastal counties, primarily in the Los Angeles - Long Beach area, about five to 10 minutes before landing.

Here are the complete details from NASA.
