Live Oak School Star Party -- perfect skies

The Live Oak School Star Party at the Waco Wetlands is all set for tonight, but do note that it is at the Waco Wetlands, not Reynolds Creek Park (see previous post for Wetlands directions).  Weather is perfect--no clouds within hundreds of miles of central Texas according to the weather map.

Waco area cloud cover predictor

Using NOAA weather maps, some time ago I made a little online Waco area cloud cover predictor, which is now hosted on a better server than before. It shows data for about a week ahead of time (unlike the otherwise superior clear sky clock), every couple of hours, and it shows a mini map of the area. The numbers are percentage cloud covers. My experience is that small numbers are overestimated--about 20% on the map equals to the sky looking clear.
