The sunsets frequently are beautiful up on the Sandhill, but tonight the sky turned alien. Reds, purples, greens. A ridge of cloud containing a cottonball sky.
This explanation from WRFV-TV5 meteorologist Dave Miller:
Those are mammatus clouds. They generally are found behind thunderstorms. They are boiling clouds bubbling down, with a lot of turbulence in them.
We were mesmerized this cotton ball sky last night in our neighborhood while we were biking. Thanks for sharing! Sad all could not see it snug in thier homes. Regards, Tom from the paddle group
It was a spectacular sight to see as the sun set. From the number of Facebook photos I've seen from the evening, many people in the area got out to have a look. This is a nice slide show. Thanks for sharing it! --Tracey Koenig
