Wavy Skies #SkywatchFriday

We've been in a rainy pattern this past week so I am going back a week to May 16.

Taken about 4:35 pm that afternoon, before the wavy clouds.

Just after sunset, I went outside and captured this view with wavy clouds.

From this direction you can really see the waves.   This picture isn't blurred; it really looked like this. I am no weather expert but I wonder if high altitude winds caused this effect.

We are fortunate (so far) no flooding and no severe weather.  I hope it stays that way.

I hope you are having a week free from severe weather. 

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.

    Weather here is wet, rainy and unseasonably cold

  4. We're been in a wicket rainy pattern here, had one day reprieve, and are expecting rain again for the next 4 days. Nothing pretty about our skies.

  8. That's an interesting question. Can you have ripples in the air like you do in water? I mean, the atmosphere is a medium, but gas and liquid behave differently under different circumstances. Hmmm... Something I'd have to look up.

  10. We've had our share of wavy clouds as well as big ole fluffy sky filling clouds which I absolutely love, especially in the late afternoon that'll catch the sitting sun colors. That's when the clouds frequently remind me of cotton candy. It's always puts a smile on my face!

  15. Very cool photos. I am no expert on clouds but it seems that I've read that very high winds can blow the tops of the clouds. Maybe that is it.
