Description
These are parallel streets of backlit stratocumulus embedded along the northwesterly winds behind a spring cold front. The March sun was powerful enough to create late afternoon instability within those lines of clouds. Snow virga was wafting down from the convective bubbles like the tentacles of jellyfish. In fact jellyfish movement as they move around the ocean closely resembles cumulus convection. Gravity waves in the thin cloud streets reveal the direction of the wind and probably result from the stabilization that was occurring with the setting sun. The bands of stratocumulus further to the west were looking more like heavy snowsqualls and not just light flurries. Every cloud has a story to tell.
