Miami Weather

Garf · December 12, 2014

While most of the country is knee deep or more in snow, Miami is sunny, and bright. This type of cloud formation is rare here so I thought I'd show a little of it.

My meteorology is not up to snuff - is that what is known as a "mackerel sky"?

It could mean snow on the way to Miami? Just kidding.

I have heard it being called cloud waves. I'm not sure why it happens, but it looks cool when it does.

It happened in 1972, but it never reached the ground. I got out of work at 2AM and my wipers were frozen to the windshield.

We are getting the tail end of the weather system that caused the tornadoes in the midwest.

I saw skies like that yesterday, up our way, but at sunrise. It was amazing.

Sure wish I could have got a picture, but I was in the vanpool on my way into work...

The actual term is strato cumulus. I hope I spelled it right.
