This weather info is a great resource but it has made me doubt my original plans. I am going up to Adams Dam on the Sunday to get a good spot - I expect a lot of people will have bought the 4 day ticket and so be arriving on Monday - and so will be out of phone and internet contact. My original though was that if the weather starts to look bad it is due to a low pressure system offshore blowing cloud onto the coast. Therefore I was going to go further west to King Junction or perhaps even Pormpuraaw/Kowanyama (yes very remote but we are a group of three cruisers with all the gear). However the pattern I just saw appeared to be a cloud band that moved from west to east and so going west wouldn't necessarily help.
Can anyone (cyclone?) comment on how likely it is that any cloud is coming from the east or west and how do I tell the difference? Is it just a matter of noting the wind direction? If I see the weather map on Sunday morning how much use will that be? Some climate maps I saw months ago implied that the afternoon cloudiness increases as you move off the plateau down to the lower country. But that isn't morning cloud. Any comments welcome.
