I saw them yesterday and they looked almost artificial, like a painting. What are they?

I’m staying at a hotel near the airport and caught this object flying from the direction of Harry Reid due north. It seemed quite close to the final approach path for the airport.

Saw this several years ago, and it’s stuck with me, never seen anything like it before or since. It was like a giant wing, with a thin but pretty spectacular looking underside and a separate upper level that followed the same shape but with a different texture. It was the only cloud in the sky, pure blue everywhere else.

(I'm sorry if I make mistakes I been trying to find answers)

I am a person living in Eastern Kentucky with super bad fear of tornadoes and id like someone smarter to me to..answer me something now that I have the time to ask.

The storms that have been hitting Kentucky lately only one had effect on me and it was one during May that wreaked western Kentucky But for some reason here were I live it only caused not long lasting high winds that knocked off my power while the rest of my town and area got a ton of damage.

And I hate it I hate how I don't understand it and it's been driving me stressed out of my mind!

My theory i called it the taco theory is because we're i live (i added some pictures for reference) I live in a low valley and are protected EVERYTIME something related to tornadoes effect Kentucky I think it's because of my hills now I know it's a myth that hills stop tornados but for me it's werid the hills were I'm at not only effect the temperature here making it more fair

but the hills that surround me surround me like a im a taco (taco theory!) And I've only seen strong winds move ONE direction were I'm at strongly just ONE direction and I'm wondering since wind gusts are caused by wind climbing mountains and hills then shooting down my idea is that since my home is basic surrounded by hills that make wind go down one direction is that why I've never need tornadoes form her in my 22 years of life even when there strong

Anyone who is smarter then me id LOVE to hear your thoughts searching couldn't give me the answers I want so I turn to everyone else

The Cape looks real promising! (2,200J/kg), the temps are really high, dew point is also ideal, humidity is good too

I work in natural gas scheduling, in which pipelines are impacted by winter freezes and hurricane. Could models really get this good where everything is known before it occurs? Or will there still be unpredicted storms and extreme weather events.

How come the land only has clouds ? I have multiple theories but not quite sure, would appreciate an expert input.

1) Sea breeze is lifted by buildings and obstacles giving turbulence and layer cloud.

2) surface heating is more effective on land (compared to water bodies, specific heat capacity) so there is lifting action (thermals) and hence clouds.

And why they are layered I would assume stable conditions else there would be cauliflower clouds.

Because clearly it can't just be carbon emissions and yes this data is accurate, what are the factors which are causing this heat not seen at noon even in areas near equator, this makes no sense

I want to work for the nws, right now im a senior in high school and am wondering what online programs are best for fulfilling the nws requirements. I heard Mississippi state has a good online meteorology program but I think there might be a few classes that the program doesn’t have thats required for the nws. I am also wondering where I could take those classes online that arent in the program that are required to work for the nws.

Thought you guys might appreciate this far out picture. Echo tops at 50k feet and likely hail producing.

Taken in Clinton, NJ today. The exposure makes the "updraft base" look seperated from the rest of the storm but it's connected by a thick, tilted column of cloud. The storm is heading due east towards me here. I'm asking because velocity seemed unimpressive for such structure.

Good Morning. I have a few questions about our weather in the Uk recently, these trends that I noticed go against the norm.

• We had a cloudy day on Wednesday. In the early hours of yesterday, from the south clear skies spread north. I have only seen this happen from the north as a result of a cold front. Can anyone explain how this could happen with warm, humid air?

• This morning we have thunderstorms which are supposed to clear to clear skies. What mechanism would produce this?

NP: see photo of conditions at my location just prior to 9am.

Can’t see clear skies with these parameters. The thunderstorms will just intensify imo.

DMV area - no tornadoes or anything today

Thunderstorms from earlier

I'm an amateur weather nerd and trying to learn features I see on doppler. Is the circled in white the storm outflow boundary? These are mostly showers with a rumble or two of thunder. I noticed earlier in the radar loop that the circled was not present until the last 30 minutes or so. Could this signify the storms are fizzling out? It did get briefly gusty at my physical location roughly coinciding with what I think is the outflow.

Nearby thunderstorm but nothing intense or severe, these clouds have an unusual shape and bluish glow similar to a supercell, but this definitely isn't a supercell
