Hi Quincy,
Do you know of an iPhone app or even just a website where I can learn the elevation of the bottom AND top of current clouds at specific locations ?
This could be a great tool for my landscape photography hobby when trying to plan.
Last Wednesday was a very cloudy day in Pueblo. For job reasons, I had to drive from Pueblo through Canon City to Hartsel.
As I drove up in elevation, just west of Canon City, it was surprising to me how quickly I was above the clouds.
I know this isn’t news to any one who has ever been on a plane, or just driven through the mountains, or climbed but it intrigued me that day that such a tool could really help me plan for trips for my landscape photography hobby.
Weather is the greatest factor effecting outdoor light. Trying to predict when there will be fog at the lake, clouds along the foothills, light from the sunrise or clouds is a lifelong learning.
Of course, I’ve been ‘Googling’ this and though that maybe I should look toward information provided to pilots but so far this seems to be information focused at airports.
Well.. thanks a lot for any assistance you may be able to offer.
Please keep up the great work you do,
Mike

Mike, I’m not aware of any tool like this, outside of airports and other official reporting sites. There are some computer models that can show forecast cloud base heights, but again, that’s mostly geared toward specific locations, such as airports.
