Can good seeing be predicted?

Yesterday was a warm day in Melbourne, and it stayed warm all night with little temperature variation. The jetstream map showed no blue bits anywhere near Melbourne. On the face of it, I thought this sounds like great conditions for planetary viewing but..... the seeing was absolutely horrible

It appears that the presence of jetstream will cause bad seeing, but the absence of it is no guarantee that the seeing will be good.

My question is, can good seeing be predicted? How ?
