AFter a great supper with the Lincoln folks Sunday the weather was pretty crummy for a night departure back to ames. clouds were a little cold to IFR it so student and I are sitting it out. We are looking at solid IMC for the trip home. Not exactly the training we had in mind when we left but it'll do. Heres the forecasts so far.

Looks like it should be a low IFR departure but with good ceilings at destination.
Should be good enough weather to make a return ILS if needed at Lincoln or at Omaha
Heres the area forecast:

heres the prog chart for tomorrow at 1PM:
the sounding seem to show the same as far as freeing level, although currently the soundings only go to 1500Z they are showing
positive temps up to 7 or 8000. I cant figure out how to make a screenshot on Jesse's mac so i cant show the soundings.
anywho it will be interesting to see how the weather plays out. good lesson for my student to have to say no and spend the night.
