I think I saw the 'CAVOK' bit on the forecast, rejoiced and didn't look at much more in any detail. So I also missed the whopping great SIGMET for severe turbulence, didn't I!!!
CAVOK is good at lulling into a false sense of security. I made a flight a few weeks ago where everywhere was reporting CAVOK. When I arrived at my destination, it was still CAVOK. It was also 18 gusting 25 across a runway half as long and half as wide as I was used to, with a cliff at the end for good measure. The approach was ... interesting.
