I see what you're saying with the high cielings, are you an eastern coast guy?
Believe me, this is typical for Nebraska TS, NE and KS are the home of scud running because the scud is at 2.5k
. As a Nebraskan, I'm surprised the winds arent higher.

ALQDS= All Quadrants. As opposed to just in a specific direction, i.e. LTG DSNT SE.
It's actually not too unusual to see a thunderstorm with relatively high ceilings or clouds. It's probably more common in dry climates, but here in the northeast there have been a few thunderstorms recently with ceilings around 3000 or so (although it may have been lower at the exact location of the storm as most of them were scattered, individual cells. Later in the summer look at METARs in the Southwest, once their monsoon season starts, and there will likely be thunderstorms with even higher clouds.

What?! I take it you’ve never been to the “Corn Palace”?

That's in Mitchell, South Dakota.
How dare you mix up Nebraska with South Dakota.

It’s all the same right? Actually, I have to give SD credit. Rapid City is actually a pretty nice place. ND totally sucks though.

I'll give you a pass on that....confusing NE with SD, though, has earned you a place on triple secret probation....tread with care....

I laughed at a dude in Kansas or Nebraska... can't remember where. He was talking about how hard the flying in the Midwest was. "People from Alaska respect this type of flying." He was telling his young copilot ( in a King Air 90 no less).I see what you're saying with the high cielings, are you an eastern coast guy?

I couldn't hold my tongue any longer, "no they don't" I rudely interrupted.
I didn't make a friend that day. Oh well....

I freaking hate thunderstorms. I will happily take flying in Alaska over flying in the midwest.

I saw 1-one-eine thunderstorm when I flew up there. A baby compared to the boomers here.

I saw quite a few out by Bethel. But yeah, they are tiny compared to the Midwest. I better start getting used to them now that I will be going to Montana.

My experience with the Nebraska native pilots are they can't wait to tell you how good their life is, how they never have to commute and how stupid and crazy it is more than 100,000 guys fly out for them big corporate jobs (they mean airlines). I have various replies, none of them work well.
I think there's an arguement that east coast and alaska guys could download some of their experiences with hail and tornadoes and hooks, but i doubt we'd use the information more than once every other year. Otherwise, the sandhills and the plain state ain't got that much challenge compared to a hard ifr day in ny or alaska nonsense. @Roger Roger yes I said it. It's nonsense. Someone had to.
