Dan later said the airport is BFM. That's on Mobile bay. Cloud conditions
are usually odd along coastlines.

A while back, I departed a beautiful and otherwise-clear ACK right into a
big mucking cloud sitting on runway heading. The VFRers were taking a
quick turn to stay VMC, but I used this as a good excuse to get my wife
into the clouds for the first time (but brief enough that she'd no need to
be concerned).

[I needn't have worried. Her major concern was getting the trip on video.]
