I was talking to a couple of pilots the other day and they use a drone to check the winds before their flight and they told me that two days in a row the drone kept them from making a horrible mistake. The first morning when the drone went up, it measured a low ceiling that was beginning to develop at about 400 foot and they chose to cancel because of the poor visibility and sure enough within about 30 minutes. It was completely overcast and falling to the surface of the Earth, so that was a good call.
