squall line!
Today is 08-JUN-2008. Not surprisingly for this time of year, there is a long squall line stretching from Texas to Wisconsin tonight. Flights into Chicago after 2000 Central might be affected - just a guess, I have not looked at the TAF for ORD.
Why is this interesting and bloggable? One does not often see such a well-formed squall line. Note also how far ahead of the cold front the rain is in Iowa. The heavy rain (red) is close to the cold front (blue line with pips pointing east in the direction of travel of the front) through Kansas, northwestern Missouri, but diverges in Iowa.
