Flew Down to Lexington, KY

I left Oshkosh and flew down to Lexington, KY to visit family.  There was a line of storms between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, so I had to deviate a bit west to clear them.  I also popped up to 15,500 so I could get over most of the clouds.

I crossed the line through a low spot in the clouds.

It’s pretty dark under those clouds…

…as you can see on the weather display.  It shows yellow right where I am, but that’s below me.  If I had been in IMC, I wouldn’t have come through here.  You can see a really large buildup ahead and to the left.

You can see that buildup just to the left of the propeller tip in the distance.  I gave that a wide berth and then turned on course to Lexington.
