It was a problem with ground-level wind gusts exceeding the 33 mile
per hour limit within the last few minutes of the count.

As well as during most of the rest of the launch window.

What they stated on the live video feed is that so long as there were
not gusts above the maximum within a certain time window prior to T-0,
they were allowed to launch. There was a gust a T-2:34 or so that
exceeded that limit, ergo a count halt was called.

Yabbut, that was their last T-0 in the window...it had slipped several
times before due to the wind gusts and 1x due to a tracking station. I
was following the live video, also.

I think we're talking round in circles about the same thing! :-) I was
watching the video from about 11:00 a.m. Central time all afternoon so
we almost certainly heard the same blurbs.
