Here's an idea:
At about 4:00 pm, announce loudly (so that the sky gods can hear you) that you're planning on doing a spot of solar observing this afternoon before sunset - that should trigger 100% cloud cover, and (hopefully) some nice storm activity.
Then at about 7:00 pm, proclaim loudly that you're enjoying the show, and you hope it persists well into the night so you can capture lots of night-time lightning strikes. That should guarantee a sudden clearing of the skies, and you can get your telescope out!
