DARPA has released a lot more information prior to this flight compared to the first. I don't recall seeing STK videos prior to flight one.

includes todays forecast, but looks about the same for tomorrow:
SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
555 AM PDT WED AUG 10 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
THE NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUD PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE WEEK ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF CLOUDS OVER THE VALLEYS WILL
DIMINISH AFTER THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL RISE SOME OVER THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)... UPDATE FOR MENTION OF DRIZZLE...
MARINE LAYER IS NEAR 2300 FEET DEEP AND THE ONSHORE GRADIENTS ARE
ABOUT A ONE MB STRONGER BOTH TO THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. THIS WILL
ALLOW CLOUDS TO COVER ALL THE COASTS AND VLYS AND SOME CLOUDS WILL
EVEN REACH THE SANTA CLARITA VLY. THIS ENHANCED MARINE LAYER WILL
BRING ANOTHER 1 TO 2 DEGREES OF COOLING ACROSS THE COASTS AND VLYS.
IT WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER DAY OF SLOW TO NONEXISTENT CLEARING ACROSS
THE BEACHES OF VENTURA AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. A SPOTTER REPORTED
DRIZZLE ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE VENTURA COASTAL PLAIN THIS
MORNING...THEREFORE ADDED AREAS OF DRIZZLE ACROSS VENTURA COASTAL
ZONE. NO OTHER SITES HAVE REPORTED ANY DRIZZLE...THEREFORE NO
CHANGES EXPECTED FOR OTHER COASTAL ZONES. THE STRONG ONSHORE PUSH
WILL ALSO CREATE BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE ANTELOPE VLY AND THROUGH W
TO E MTN PASSES SUCH AS THE SOLEDAD CANYON.
SYNOPTICALLY LITTLE CHANGES OF THE NEXT THREE DAYS. THE WEAK AND
FLAT WEST FLOW TILTS A LITTLE UP TO A SW TO NE DIRECTION AS THE
UPPER HIGH OVER AZ STRENGTHENS AND SHIFTS A LITTLE TO THE W. THIS
ALSO BUMPS UP HGTS AND THKNS SOME. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY BIG CHANGES
IN THE MARINE LAYER AND THERE WILL BE NIGHT THROUGH MORNING CLOUDS
ACROSS ALL THE COASTS AND MOST OF THE VLYS. PRESSURE GRADIENTS
SHOULD TREND OFFSHORE FRIDAY AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A LITTLE
BETTER CLEARING. MAX TEMPS WILL BUMP UP A DEGREE OR TWO EACH DAY
ACROSS THE INTERIOR WHILE COASTAL TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOUT THE SAME
TODAY AND THURSDAY BUT WILL WARM SOME FRIDAY WITH THE OFFSHORE
TRENDS.

I have zero California forecast experience, but the aviation outlook has thick dense fog in for tomorrow morning again.
