Couple times out at the pads recently when clouds had been even over
the top of the peak itself they have seemed to drop significantly by 10
even to where a couple of degrees of the mountains to the southeast have
been above the deck. Magic.
Best of luck and may it turn out to be a low deck of clouds for us all.
(below our scopes that is ... )

The lower thick cloud deck often fools clear sky clock it seems when
mountains are involved.

Even now the lower cloud deck looks just a tad below the webcam which
looks kinda nice as well.
