Last night I thought was going to be good and it was clear until sunset when clouds can in from the east not west. Many times I have seen winds change and while clear to the west the winds swirled around and came from the east bringing lots of clouds. These present clouds are not big solid types but more spread out and flimsy. My gut feeling is they will be around after dark and even increase. I'll check again in a couple of hours before making a final decision.
