Astronomical observatories are extremely dependent on sky transparency. As the expensive new very large telescopes enter into operation, flexible observing modes are being introduced, which allow each 'observing block' to be scheduled at the most appropriate time. In such modes, it makes sense to develop tools for forecasting ambient conditions. We present here the operational water vapor and cirrus cloud forecast model developed for ESO observatories in Northern Chile.
