1. Check out Temperature Grid looking for clear sky from Squamish to Lillooet and reasonable temperature gradient from Vancouver to Squamish and from Squamish to Lillooet. Minimum 4C from Vancouver (colder) to Lillooet (hotter)
2. Check out WindGuru for Squamish. Compare cloud predictions against Temperature Grid. Also, look for minimum SW 3 to 4 knots inflow
3. After sunrise, check the web cams for actual cloud conditions in Lillooet, Permberton, Whistler and Squamish Gondola. Also, check Satellite image
4. You can check for Howe Sound inflows at Environment Canada but I generally don't trust their predictions
5. Finally, check out actual wind conditions on SWS sensor
My prediction for today is not good unless clouds clear out better than predicted this afternoon
