Clouds – Red and Blue Close together, close = wet.
- 0-1 deg difference = OVC or FOG(at surface)
- 1-2 deg difference = 6 – 7/8 = BKN
- 2-3 deg difference = 5-6/8 = BKN
- 3-4 deg difference = 4-5/8 = BKN/SCT
- 4-5 deg difference = 3-4/8 = SCT
- 5-6 deg difference = <3/8 = SCT
- >6 deg difference = FEW or NCD
