Dartford Crossing: real time info on QEII Bridge closures?

My employer has recently banished me to Basildon, which means that I'm
taking a sudden interest in the wind component of weather forecasts.
I know that the QEII Bridge was closed one day about a month ago when
wind speeds were approaching 30mph, and I wonder whether there's any
more reliable way of predicting bridge closures than just checking the
weather forecast.

The site where you get your Dart Tag doesn't appear to carry that sort
of information, so the best bets are the BBC traffic news and AA
Roadwatch, but neither *predicts* a bridge closure - merely reporting
the ensuing delays after they have happened.
Does anyone have a favourite site which is more helpful?

Being completely the other side of London I don't watch the same issues so
whether any of these will help, I'm not sure but try: Make sure you tell
the difference between real time and predictions and look at all the
clickable options.

Thanks. I'll give these a try.
