Re: (meteorobs) Weather predicting

Cindee:

NOAA's ARLPLOT Eta site allows you to choose (among many other things) high,
middle, low, or total cloud cover maps for every three hours up to 48 hours
in the future.  Find it at
http://www.arl.noaadot gov/ready-bin/arlplot1.pl?metdata=Eta+40+km .  For my
area, it seems to be reasonably accurate.  The similar AVN site
(http://www.arl.noaadot gov/ready-bin/arlplot1.pl?metdata=AVN+191+km ) allows
you to pick total cloud cover for every 6 hours up to 72 hours in advance,
but does not select between low, middle, or high clouds.  I have not found
it to be as accurate, either.
