The cold weather caused two of the O-rings in the right solid rocket booster to not seal properly, so hot gases escaped but left behind some aluminium that is in rocket fuel to cover up the hole. At 50 something seconds after liftoff there is a very strong wind that pushes it back and forth (that is also why the smoke cloud left behind is in a zig-zag), dislodging the aluminium and causing a fire, the fire then burned the connector between the rocket boosters and the fuel tank, dislodging the rocket booster. The booster then got hit by wind and made the booster hit into the fuel tank causing it to explode.
