You could try to expose to specifically retain highlight detail (so you can see colour in the sky and not have it blown out). Averaging these two values out could work ok, but remember that digital cameras are still better at retrieving detail from shadows than highlights. The hard part is deciding where to balance your exposure between these two readings. Firstly Aim you camera towards the brightest part of the final frame and take a reading, then do the same for the darkest area and note the values down. Figuring out what the brightest and darkest areas you require to see detail or colour.
