This late afternoon shot of a towering thunderhead (cumulonimbus cloud) near Springfield illustrates the vertical growth which took place in Tuesday's northbound thunderstorms. Anson tells us he had to fly through a line of storms there--but did so successfully. Great shots, Anson! Thanks for sharing them with us.
The thunderstorms, predicted to continue sweeping the Chicago area in clusters, are shown here developing near Peoria. Our friend and pilot Anson Mount took the photo below at the 28,000 ft. level this morning as he was en route to Alton. The cell pictured here forced Anson to fly around it. It's so interesting to look at the storms behind the heavy downpours, which have hit sections of the state with the tropical weather system now lifting northward from Missouri, from another perspective. THANKS Anson! Another great shot!
