A 3,500kg commsat for South Korea.
One of the last few of launches from LC-39A before it starts getting ready for Falcon Heavy #1.
Other KSC launches will move to LC-40, the pad damaged by fire in the AMOS-6 accident (which SpaceX and NASA are still exploring the cause of; some strange, unexpected physics going on wrt solid oxygen.)
The KoreaSat static fire was successful, so now,

"Chilly with mostly clear skies" for SpaceX's 3:34pm ET Mon. launch of F9, Koreasat-5A from KSC. <10% chance of weather violation.
