Launch recap: Scroll down to review live updates from the Friday, June 13, liftoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on the Starlink 12-26 mission.

Original story: Get ready for another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch this morning — but watch for cumulus clouds to build as the clock approaches noon along Florida's Space Coast.

Welcome to FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage of SpaceX's Starlink 12-26 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron predicted odds of "go for launch" conditions will deteriorate throughout the morning to 60% by shortly after noon.

Cumulus clouds pose the primary threat, with the atmosphere supporting "onshore-moving showers during the night and morning hours along the coast," the squadron's forecast said

The Falcon 9 will deploy a payload of 23 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit. No Brevard County sonic booms should occur.

After soaring skyward along a southeasterly trajectory, the rocket's first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship out at sea about eight minutes after liftoff.

Update 11:16 a.m.:  Thirteen minutes before SpaceX's Falcon 9 lifts off, the countdown appears to be proceeding as planned.

Rocket fueling remains well underway at Launch Complex 40.
