9/14/2004: Mammatus clouds
 Oh sure, I remember cloud types: cirrus, cirrostratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus. Mammatus? This Earth Sci Pic of the Day says These pendulous clouds were observed just after a huge thunderstorm, producing baseball sized hail and heavy rain, ravaged parts of Pueblo. While mammatus clouds aren't always precursors of severe weather, their appearance is certainly menacing. They typically form as a result of cold downdrafts within mature thunderstorm cells. Gawrsh! |

I certainly wouldn't feel safe if those things were dangling overhead.

Man, we saw a bunch of these earlier this year out at Pagan camp...nasty weather.
I like them because they are so named due to their resemblance to breasts.
