Reading the airports along the sightline.
Denali sits north-northwest of Talkeetna. In summer the sun sets in the northwest, so evening light lands on the south face you are looking at; sunrise comes from the northeast, behind the peak. The summit is 20,310 ft and airport instruments only measure cloud to about 12,000, so a clear reading here means clear below that, and the Forecast tab is the better guide for the top.

We read the cloud ceilings at the airports between Talkeetna and the summit, the cloud layers at the summit from the MET Norway model, and whether that cloud sits below 20,310 ft. No crowd reports.
Cloud forecasts get less reliable the further out they go. Days four and five are drawn in six-hour steps for that reason, and the forecast stops at five.
Different weather stations, different sky. The same morning can be fog in one and clear in the other, twenty miles apart. Each region page reads its own stations.
Airport instruments only measure cloud to about 12,000 ft. Everything above that, on a 20,310 ft mountain, comes from the forecast model. Wildfire smoke and haze can hide the mountain on a day the cloud numbers say clear. When the numbers are unsure, the page says so.
