Meangreen94z 659 Report post Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks, it made the weather event worth it. I scrambled to put all my xeric plants up that might not appreciate a surprise Gulf Coast downpour. All we got out of it was some intermittent sprinkling. I’ll wait until the morning to put everything back out. Edited April 26, 2020 by Meangreen94z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Latin/ species name ( Yes, clouds are divided into species.. ) is Undulatus asperatus and are a sign of Atmospheric turbulence at X level in the Atmosphere, especially as a large Thunderstorm/ or complex of strong storms is in the decaying phase.. Quite often, they are visible indicators of what are called Gravity Waves, which move away from the storm like ripples on a pond. Those Atmospheric waves can set the stage for development of new storms somewhere several dozen/ hundreds of miles away later on. Arcus, which look like Asperatus, form at the lower layer of the Atmosphere along the leading edge of Thunderstorm outflows.. These too often mark waves of turbulence as they radiate out and away from the parent storm. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
