Awesome! https://www.windytv.com now provides cloud-base forecast

[BlurE]

Happened to visit Windytv, wind forecast just now to try to glean just how cloudy the BOMs 'cloudy' forecast for tomorrow was. In the past windytv gave a prediction of what was called 'low cloud' as well and wind speed, direction rain etc.

 

But now to my delight windytv.com newly gives cloud base, (and medium, high, and total cloud if you care) Also a prediction of VFR, MVFR, IFR. Click on "rules" to change the units.

 

This forecast is available by the hour ten days out.

 

Obviously don't trust any weather that far out and be sure to check the official Air services NAIPS - but this is a great tool for initial planning.

 

...oh the result was crap until midday then contracting to the coast - all beautifully animated.
