Janis and I are on our return flight from Ruston, Louisiana to Wichita, Kansas after visited Janis' dad for the 4th of July. We had a great visit and ate some great food. Weather delayed our takeoff due to some pop-up thunderstorms, although we still flew a lot of this flight in IMC and had one area we requested a deviation as I couldn't see through the wall of rain or the ground, Nexrad showed a small red cell along our path, but it was about 12 minutes old and what it was showing looked far less ominous than what we were seeing out the window. Couple that with we would have passed into that area in hard IMC, we elected to take a more conservative approach and simply go around it. Which only added a few minutes to the overall flight.
