Hmmm. Photography being the main goal for me here, I might wait for a sunny day. However, I will keep my eyes on the forecast. At present, the NWS is calling for 56% cloud cover at 1 p.m. tomorrow. If that percentage slides much lower as the event draws closer, I might take a gamble and head down. It's a 2-hour drive for me, though, so it's a big effort. I'm jaded by the first Emirates A380 arrival, which was under dismal conditions. At least that event had more historical significance since it was the first revenue A380 operation to the States.
Hope for 31L if you're out for photography. The lighting on 22L at 1:30 would be far less than optimal since the sun will be at 210 degrees then - close to nose-on but slightly on the other side of the plane from The Mounds. 31L lighting would probably be excellent if the clouds stay away. Winds are supposed to be from the west at 15, so I guess it could go either way.
