Temp variations

Was on a road trip this weekend driving from Flagstaff to Havasu, the sky was partially obscured with cloud at about 5k AGL (which was ball park 10k AMSL). Drove thru an isolated thunderstorm with rain falling heavily for about a mile, basically bone dry and clear then torrential rain for a mile then bone dry and clear again, what really caught my attention was the temperature dropped from 90F down to 72F and back up to 90F in the time it took to drive just over a mile.
The weather and its extremes never ceases to amaze me, anyone had similar type experiences while actually flying?
