SkyWatch Friday: Storm Front Coming

Sky and clouds seen from a rest area in western North Carolina. April 3, 2012.

On our way to Asheville, North Carolina, in early April, Betsy and I stopped at a rest area along I-40 in the  mountains of western North Carolina.  The day up to that point had been sunny and bright, but the weather forecast was calling for rain.  While at the rest area I noticed the clouds over the ridge line.  The sky was still blue, and there were still white clouds in the sky, but the gray clouds were moving in.  We did, in fact, get rain later in the day.

    I hit the jackpot with your blogs today, George. Wonderful and really unusual clouds, and two kinds! Had to enlarge this one as well to get a bigger, beautiful look!

    I love clouds like those! There seems to be a lot going on up there in the sky…not surprising that rain came later. Thanks for visiting my sky.
