... so I started tracking NOAA's "contrail forecast" page which was based on the atmospheric conditions that are known to produce long-lasting contrails. I was only able to track a few weeks before the page stopped updating for some reason, but what I found was that it was about 80% accurate when it predicted I should see some, and I didn't see anything except very short ones when it predicted none.
