I like to get the climb out of the way early. ?That said plans are great but it all kinda goes out the window when you do the trip. ? the magic of it.?

I’m planning our SOBO trip from Aug 23-Sept 15. The wisdom says that one’d better climb over passes in the morning. I understand that this strategy is for taking advantage of better snow conditions in the morning and avoiding afternoon storms. However this strategy also makes my daily itinerary planning less flexible, like always camping before a pass (at least for big ones).?
Do you think in our hiking window of 8/23-9/15, afternoon storms still a concern (I know snow should be out of the equation by that time)?
I had experience of climbing over Forester in a late June day, but that was a dry year.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Happy trails!
Jingbo?
