Beautiful clouds tonight from my back yard.

I’m sure one of you smarties will know what this is…I just know it was gorgeous.

3. I just looked that up.

I believe you’re correct. Thank you.

2. Nice. How's the smoke been so far this year? Blowing your way I think?

We've only had a little last week but I suspect we'll get hit good in September.

Nice photos.

4. We've had almost no smoke

until yesterday and today. Tonight it blew out of the valley and we’re due for slightly cooler weather this week. If we don’t get rain, I believe September will be smoky for sure.

🤞

6. I don't think I have ever seen this before

Unique, for sure n they look like they are upside down. Really beautiful..

7. We've had those...

And large cumulus clouds pass by like super-sized ships. A large cloud bank moved in and it's cooler and windy but no rain, yet.

10. We got a light sprinkle right before these clouds moved in.

It’s only supposed to get to 89 today which will be a great compared to the high 90’s. I hope the wildfires calm down.

11. We just have slowly...

Increasing smoke, a little hazier every day. We're predicted to be in the 80s for several day with half a prayer of rain, maybe.

I would love it if the fires got doused. It's just too hot and dry.

8. Yep, mammatus.

You can see how they got that name!

Beautiful photos.

I don't think we have clouds like this here in New York!
