The article reviews a discussion between 7 of the years most prolific cinematographers and the specific quote below summarises the general feelings of the 7 about using practical weather.
This lack of control over the weather that is stated could encourage cinematographers in the future to use CG weather rather than practical for convenience.
"Working with weather is like rolling the dice.When working on location and with exteriors, despite many useful apps to help predict the weather, there's no real way to know what it will do. Therefore, the DP must make a choice on which look to maintain throughout the scene. This choice can sometimes continue for days or weeks, but it's basically a coin flip cinematographers have to make. Dick Pope also makes the case for having a little good luck on your side, as he did for the cloudscapes of Mr. Turner."
