Tonight's cloud outlook

Provisional · RDPS + GFS + ICON + NBM

Poor night overall — possible brief clearing near dawn. Confidence: Low — 0 hours with fewer than three families; 5 hours with spread above 15 points. Experimental agreement heuristic, not a calibrated probability.

Bars and scores use the median across available RDPS-family, GFS, ICON and NBM values. Astrospheric AI is preferred within the RDPS family, with direct RDPS as fallback. Each hour also shows direct RDPS, GFS, ICON, and NBM (where available). Gold outlines mark hours where the spread across available independent families exceeds 15 percentage points. Quality bands: Excellent ≤10%, Good >10–25%, Workable >25–40%, Poor >40%. Usable dark hours require cloud ≤30%; a Workable hour above 30% does not count as usable. All times: America/Chicago (Central Time).
