As of Feb 7:

Don writes: chance of rain but not near as cloudy, 26% at 6 and decreasing from there. Down to 5% by and and going to 3% by 9.

Eric writes: Accuweather Pro shows 26% at 1800, 2% at 1900 going to 0% by 2000. They do seem to slightly underestimate cloud cover; NWS tends to sometimes over state it…
