MAYBE

dew-point spread 2.0Β°C β€” air too moist, solar energy lost to evaporation

πŸ€– ML β€” logistic experimental NO GO GO 18% Β· MAYBE 22% Β· NO GO 60%

Strongest inputs β€” (βˆ’) pressure Ξ” (thermik), morning solar, FΓΆhn Ξ”.

πŸ€– ML β€” HGB Β· black box experimental NO GO GO 0% Β· MAYBE 2% Β· NO GO 98%

Most distinctive inputs: Innsbruck pressure, overnight cloud, Bolzano pressure.

Experimental shadow models β€” they never drive the verdict. How good are they? β†’
