The weather may once again not cooperate Saturday afternoon for the rescheduled launch of a SpaceX rocket with two NASA astronauts on board, forecasters say.

Wednesday's launch of the country's first NASA astronauts in nine years was scrubbed due to bad weather in the area.

"A couple of days ago, we had too much electricity in the atmosphere," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said. The condition could cause rocket-triggered lightning."But we are going to launch American astronauts on American rockets from American soil, and we will do it with the absolutely priority being the safety of our astronauts."

If Saturday's launch is delayed, 3 p.m. Sunday has been slated for liftoff of the 230-foot-tall rocket. However, scattered storms could again affect the Florida Peninsula on Sunday ahead of a cold front dropping into north Florida, according to the Weather Channel. Teams are also looking at June 2 and 3, as well as June 7 and 8 as backup opportunities, but no final decisions have been made.Contributing: Emre Kelly, Florida Today

Saturday SpaceX launch weather forecast: More showers, thunderstorms likely at Cape CanaveralThe weather may not be much better Saturday afternoon for the rescheduled launch of a SpaceX rocket ship with two NASA astronauts on board, forecasters say. I knew it ! 😕 The forecast has been terribly wrong in my area for the last week! Have some damn faith The weather will always be polluted at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or golf courses as long as Trump is president. Republicans do not want House voting by proxy but meekly submit to DICTATES by Triggered Trumpet Tweeter Trump who must not TRIUMPH in November.
