I've had this happen around Chicago, and conclude that in many cases
it's wind shear. Lake Michigan often establishes a mini-high over the
lake, with wind flowing from the northeast over Chicago. The
prevailing upper winds are some sort of westerly, and there's often a
layer around 2500 ft where the 2 layers mix which can be surprisingly
rough - smooth above, not too bad below.
