I would not write it off; the forecast still looks promising. Look much more closely; there is no cloud forecast for Thursday evening. The change will be 24km/h w/ 44km gusts, not great but not the worst, and the main thing is it will be SSE so not from the smoke.
Sure seeing's not gonna be great but in this month when is it!? I'm not expecting to split stars (which I don't have the slightest interest in doing) or view planets. Beggars can't be choosers and DSOs should do just fine.
Tonight on the other hand is rubbish where I am - lots of high cloud and some smoke. And every other day forecast for the foreseeable future has no chance; I still think there's a chance Thursday may be the best chance in a while - if you can put up with heat haze and a little wind.
