Warrensburg is the starting place from whence my ancestors decided to move
Westward to California by covered wagon in 1852. I hope things have improved
around there in the years since!

Ed,
You're right about the radar and precipitation, but what the radar doesn't
show is low clouds and fog and reduced visibility. KAUW is IFR right now
because of 800 foot ceilings. I'm pretty conservative about flight conditions
when I travel, and while I don't mind an isolated (small) MVFR area, I still
want to have mostly fairly decent VFR weather along the way.
I'm watching carefully to see if there is a window where I can make it up
from the St. Louis area. Unfortunately, the big hunk of precipitation in the
western part of Missouri is heading my way. If I could find an opening into
Illinois it might not be too bad up to Wisconsin, but I have to get through,
and currently the conditions don't look very hospitable.
I really want to get there, but not badly enough to take any real risks.

Eliacim,
It looks like the weather will blow by you around 8:30-10:30.
Here’s a URL that’s worth memorizing or keeping in your billfold. It’s the
full continental U.S. weather radar composite with loop for an hour or two’s
worth of motion:
http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php
Useful rule of thumb for long-distance VFR flying: You can almost always
get where you’re going if you are willing to detour a state or so sideways to
go around the weather.

On my way to the EOC in Wausau, I got stuck in Warrensberg, Missouri due
to severe weather north, all the way to Oshkosh...
I am next to Whiteman AFB, but for some reason they won't let me see the
B-2s...
