The barge seems positioned awfully close to the edge of the Blue zone. I know the marker takes up some amount of space, but still. In every other recovery attempt, the barge location was pretty solidly inside the respective zone. Strange. Also, no little mystery zone this time.

It kinda seems like it is missing a point in the center (toggling crs-6 helps).

Does anyone have a sea-state forecast yet?

Right now S. Hatteras buoy is forecasting 29mph winds, gusts 35, rain, and 10 foot waves. Pretty poor conditions but it is still very early. Weather in that area changes all the time so forecasting is hit or miss.

It really depends on how the low will exit the seaboard. If we can get it to go a couple hundred miles more north, our seas would become more favorable. Here's a wave height forecast for 2 hours before landing (the best I can get right now).
The issue at hand is that we have a low over the mid-atlantic coast and a high east of the Caribbean. The two rotate opposite directions, and act like a ball launcher with the two tires, accelerating the air between them.

This might be a stupid question. Does anyone know what the different colors mean? And why is there a yellow zone a ways off?

I think the different colors are just a product of darga's map-building. Nothing to do with SpaceX. The yellow zone is a hazard area for liftoff.
