Clouds of the Day - CONTRAILS - Monday, February 19, 2024

High level moisture made it easier for CONTRAILS (CONDENsation TRAILS) to form behind the engines of aircraft. These long lasting trails revealed just how much air traffic flies over our part of the Upper Midwest daily. The trails from top to bottom are from planes traveling west to east and the trails from left to right are flying north to south. The sheet of Cirrus spread over the entire sky indicated a very consistent layer of moisture.
