I petitioned, and in response they updated the page, the answer is around 8am central (sounds like when the first person arrives in the morning).

It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
OK, I just felt that I had to add my voice to the exemplaring thing.
First of all, wasn't the Weekly Strike Target designed with end-game content in mind for incarnates?
I quote: "Our commitment to content keeps coming: the Issue 19: Strike Pack update is now LIVE! This update brings players ever-closer to tapping the power of their inner Incarnate with two major new features: the Weekly Strike Target, and the Rare and Very Rare Alpha Slot Abilities!"
This definitely sounds to me like the Weekly Strike Target was set up mostly for incarnates to play/look forward to.
That being said...what the heck are we doing any Weekly Strike Target TF that is not going to award us shard drops? What is the point? To get one Notice of the Well - and that's it!? Ridiculous I say. I have no intention of running this week's Strike Target TF (Sister Psyche) or any other lowb weekly strike target TF more than once per character of choice because it is simply a waste of time otherwise.
Let's examine the Weekly Strike Targets: (I'm only going to reference blue-side)
February 1st to February 7th - The Statesman Task Force - lvl range 45-50 - I, and many members of my sg, must have run this TF at least 10 times or more during the course of the week! + Shards! Incarnate Components! Merit Rewards! Rare Recipe drops! Yummy incarnate goodness! 
February 8th to February 14th - Return of he Reichsman from Dr. Kahn - lvl range 45-50 - I, and many members of my sg, must have run this TF at least 10 times or more during the course of the week! + Shards! Incarnate Components! Merit Rewards! Rare Recipe drops! Yummy incarnate goodness!
February 15th to February 21st - The Lady Grey Task Force - lvl range 45-50 - I, and many members of my sg, must have run this TF at least 10 times or more during the course of the week! + Shards! Incarnate Components! Merit Rewards! Rare Recipe drops! Yummy incarnate goodness!
February 22nd to February 28th - Clamor and Destruction - lvl range 20-25 - uuuhhh, what?! Let's just call this what it is, not a WTF aka weekly task force for Incarnates at all, more like a WTF?! aka what the f***?! strike target. :P
March 1st to March 7th - Alpha Strike from Apex - lvl range 50 - I don't remember how many times I, and members of my sg, ran this TF when Alpha first came out, but... + Shards! Incarnate Components! Merit Rewards! Rare Recipe drops! Yummy incarnate goodness!
March 8th to March 14 - Soul of the Woodsman from Numina in Founders' Falls - lvl range 35-40 - yay, another WTF?! strike target. :P
March 15th to March 21st - Time's Arrow aka ITF - lvl range 35-50 - by far my favorite TF ever, cannot begin to count the number of times I've run this and loved it every time! When I need 6-8 shards, I run an ITF and voila! Yummy incarnate goodness.
March 22nd to March 28th - The Praetorian Offensive from Tin Mage Mark II - lvl range 50 - once again, yummy incarnate goodness.
March 29th to April 4th - Following Countess Crey from Manticore - lvl range 30-35 - yay, another WTF?! strike target. :P
There are more than enough lvl 45-50 TF's available to not have to include lowb TF's as weekly strike targets. BUT, since they appear to be scheduled regardless, can we at least get an additional reward of 3-5 shard drops for completing the damned things? Seriously, please!
Not that it matters now, anyways, since it's definitely up....
