Cloudy skies over Midwest last night (Saturday) obstructed my chance to view. — The SpaceX “Endeavour” capsule re-entry track will be from SW to the NE. So it will not overfly the USA on re-entry path.
Stormy weather (outside wind & wave parameters) at the planned splashdown sites in the Gulf of Mexico, could complicate the return schedule. NASA and SpaceX are planning on a water landing off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, on Sunday while continuing to monitor any weather impact from Hurricane Isaias.

I was hoping to step out and see it from my yard tonight. Like I was able to when they were chasing the ISS.
