Prior to Tuesday’s severe thunderstorm outbreak, I sighted these “mammatocumulus” clouds in the skies over Columbus New Jersey about 6 PM.
Not often seen or recognized, this cloud form is a sure sign that severe weather is imminent or occurring nearby. Check out this Wikipedia article for more info.
The weekend weather forecast is looking better and better. Last night’s models have reduced their forecast for the amount of cloudiness both Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. (Still expect some cloudiness, according to the NAM.)
Any precipitation will be during the night time hours. Monday is looking sunny as well. Enjoy!
