I find 'listening' to the band as one of the best prop. predictors, another source is the spot distribution for a station or area of interest. Not quite realtime, accept when postings are realtime the Clublog contacts per hour and band charts from the zone you are in are very good forecast info for time and band decisions. Finally I find Propagation forecast tools such as VoCap built into my logging program surprisingly good.
