Any thoughts on this one? Thanks, as always, for your help!

For this flight, fairly similar to your outbound, but probably not nearly as intense.

Basically the same pattern, but quite a bit weaker. So, if you survived the last one you should be ok. Your trouble spot will be in the middle of the flight, near Nebraska.

Again, a follow up will help increase accuracy for the future. Thank you!

Good prediction. This flight was similar to my outbound two days earlier, but more intense.

Our flightpath out of ORD took us a bit to the north, straight across Iowa, along the Nebraska/South Dakota state border, across central Wyoming (with an eventual cut south), and into Utah at just about the Idaho border. We landed 45 minutes early.

Very bumpy out of ORD. It smoothed out around central Iowa for only about ten minutes and then things got rough again, especially for about 30 minutes over western Nebraska/South Dakota and into Wyoming. Not pretty, but consistent with your predicition. The last 15 minutes of the flight were smooth.

The seatbelt sign was illuminated for the entire flight, with the exception of two ten minute stretches...they turned it off over central Iowa, turned it back on again ten minutes later, left it on for about 15 minutes and turned it back off. Ten minutes later, it was on again for the duration of the flight.

Thanks again for your prediction!
