What a stalled front looks like above the Clouds

[AggieMike88]

Photos taken about 15 miles NNW of the Leona VOR (LOA) at about 3:45pm Central time travelling northbound at 6000 feet. This boundary stretched east-west all the way to the horizon.

((need to go find the Surface Prog chart that was valid at that time))

Note how the boundary made the clouds look like a cliff edge. And then 10-15 miles further north, the layer was completely gone.

Clouds always look better with a Bonanza wing in the photo!

Especially when it's still attached to the fuselage.

What's that pointy thing that looks kinda like a big stall strip for?

It’s a place for the A&P’s to set their beer.

Definitely cool photos, thanks!

You said "made it look like a ridge". Without depth perception, I cannot tell whether it is actually a ridge or just a break in clouds making it look like that as a shadow. Which one was it? Curious.

It's a stall strip for ants.
