A photographic flight through early Wednesday's clouds--now a thing of the past

|

Our friend and pilot Anson Mount sends us these photos, taken as he headed this
morning to downstate Alton, Illinois. These shots were taken between cloud layers
while at 6,000 ft. over Chicago Heights. It’s been fascinating to watch these clouds
evaporate on satellite loops with the arrival of dry air. Temperatures have taken off as
skies have cleared—reaching the 60s in our western suburbs. It’s a sign the strong
mid-April sun is ready to go to work anytime we can get the sun to shine!! Thanks for
the great shots, Anson!!
