bowtie`

After a day of being around a frontal boundary and all the clouds that entails, Around sunset, the clouds took a hike rapidly. Taken with the 24-70mm at 61mm...

This evening was a departing system sunset. Everything as eroding from the top down and not quite as much west to east. The clouds were really hauling also. And my mania for trying to get the colors right, I did not have the camera set to stun. So the blurry clouds are all on me. Taken with the 24-70mm at 44mm...

4-21 Some morning cumulus as I was right on the western edge of the cumulus shield. Taken with the 16-35mm at 35mm... A solitary strip of cirrus in the late afternoon. Taken with the 16-35mm at 16mm...

4-19 The altocumulus getting some incidental light in the extreme post sunset conditions. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

4-17 Some eroding cumulus getting spot-lit from the setting Sun. Taken ith the 24-70mm at 53mm...

Ha! At KPSP when it hit 100 the dew was 36 for a relative humidity of 11% and a heat index of only 95. Too funny.

Only 34 at KIND. Not quite as hard on sensitive vegetation.

Looks like the bow will be south of I-70 and indianapolis. That is fine by me. Southern Indiana can keep all the severe stuff. No skin off of my nose.

This is what I am talking about... Indianapolis International Airport (weather.gov)

The radar is fine, I am talking about the time series viewer through the NWS and NOAA. I just checked KEWR and they have been only updating hourly also. Must be a system wide thing. Just wonder if it is accidental or on purpose?

These are from last night. Pre-sunset. Nothing special. Taken with the 100mm and cropped in the camera... Was wondering if the Sun would be able to round the corner and give some nice post sunset color. Glad I stuck around as here is the red starting to hit the area. Taken with the 100mm... As the red was departing the area. Taken with the 100mm and cropped in the camera... Cheers!

Can anyone tell me why KIND and KLOT suddenly stopped updating every five minutes and went to just updating every hour since one this afternoon. Is it just a western region thing or all over?

82 at KIND today. Low 80's in the third week of April is nothing special. Low 80's in Northeast surface flow is sort of notable.

Was out for the sunrise this morning. My usual morning spot with open eastern views, the county fairgrounds, had a dog show this weekend and a dog run set up where I usually set up. So I had to head to a different spot. Tried the southside park. Have never tried a sunset there yet dso this was a first. Also I forgot the 24-70mm at home on the table so I had to make do with the 16-35mm. THe reds. Taken with the 16-35mm at 35mm... Transitioning to the oranges. Taken with the 16-35mm at 35mm... I had forgotten about how good the 16-35 was at making diffraction spikes due to its aperture construction. Always adds a little pop to an image. Taken with the 16-35mm at 35mm... Cheers!

KIND hit 80 also. A gorgeous perfect Midwest day,
