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 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.
