Any meteorologists here?

This cloud formation resembles mammatus clouds, but not sure they are. This low massive formation is moving over my house right now. Very impressive. Picture might not show the pouch-like bottom of the cloud. No anvil top to this huge thing.

Did you mean mammatus clouds?

Lol, I do....dam autocorrect....and me for not checking...;). I'll correct it....thank you.

Not all that impressive. Certainly not like what you see in the mid-west in the spring.

I am not a meteorologist, but your photo sent me on a Google. Could it be an asperatus cloud? I just read that the Cloud Appreciation Society had quite a conversation a few years back about whether asperatus could be an official cloud or not. (Who knew there was such a thing as the Cloud Appreciation Society. :)) Well, asperatus must have made the cut because there is a nice lineup of cloud photos on accuweather.com and there is asperatus looking all official..........but I don't know if that is what you have here. Maybe it is a mammatus or even an asperatus trying to form. Did you see what happened to it? Did it undulate or dissipate? Or did it just merrily roll along? Great photo. Thanks. And thanks for giving me a few minutes of some interesting research. Marian Boomer |

Had so few pretty cloud formations in our location in southern CA, I just enjoy seeing them here. I'll have to check out asperatus formations....now I'll be doing a Google search, too...;) |

On a separate note, last night was a beautiful light show to the west...almost non-stop lightning with the bolts totally hidden behind a huge cloud bank. Very cool. Did you happen to see it? I tried to post a video but ToTV (understandably) wouldn't allow it. A still simply wouldn't have done it justice. |

It's nice to be able to see such light shows without being in danger. Could you hear thunder or was it that far away? |

Looking up at the sky makes me realize how insignificant I really am
