That's what skew-Ts are for (see above.)

You get a picture of the relative humidity of the atmosphere at various levels, & can use that to assess the amount of cloud.

You can also see the stabilty of the atmosphere & use the dry & saturated adiabatic lines to forecast the base & tops of convective cloud.
