Boiling and Roiling On August 10

There was plenty of convection action on isolated cells in Eastern Iowa on the afternoon of Thursday, August 10, 2017. Vertical cloud growths did not require time lapses as they were very noticeable to the naked eye. The cell seen above was captured at 3:45 pm CDT, with the camera looking east from Douglas Drive at Alburnett Road in north Marion, Iowa.

This 3:55 pm panorama looks southeast from the grounds at Oak Ridge Middle School in Marion. The western edge of the line of storms (foreground) was about 7 miles to the southeast, while the eastern edge (background, left) stretched about 53 miles to near Delmar, Iowa.
