Across the lake

The clouds looked like smoke signals across the lake.

 

Sky reversed

The sky reflected in the lake.

 

Signals

The little clouds looked like smoke signals to me.

 

Morning

Morning clouds at the lake.

 

Morning sky

The rain clouds cleared early morning.

 

Sky

The clouds looked like they had been combed on a windy day.

 

Ominous

Looming clouds.

 

Alien?

You can almost believe in alien spacecraft looking up at this sky.

 

Falls Lake

Clouds over Falls Lake.

 

Clouds in the pond

Sky reflected in the pond.

And here's the sky above.

 

Chance of afternoon storms

Every day the weather report tells us that there is a chance of afternoon storms.  Lately they haven't come through, although they can make a show every now and then.

 

30% chance of rain

Every day these last weeks the weather says 30% chance of rain.  What does that mean?  Well maybe this is it, the rain clouds cover about 30% of the sky...?

 

Mare's tails

An old wives tale says that these wispy clouds predict upcoming rain.  It's more true than not in my experience.  Does that make me a member of the old wives club?

 

Clouds in the Lake

The clouds were reflected in the lake like a mirror.

 

One little cloud

One little cloud caught in the center of the Gyre, a sculpture at the North Carolina Museum of Art's sculpture park.

 

Three

The day after a week of rain, there were only three little clouds in the sky.  It didn't last though, the next day started another set of days with no sun.

 

Mares Tails

Cirrus Uncinus  

The latin for these clouds means curly hooks.  They're a sign that rain is coming.  (see here)

 

Cloudy day

 

The roof over the swimming pool at Optimist Park matched the rain clouds moving in.

Building storm

 A dramatic sky before the rains.

Good bye Isaias

Hurricane Isaias visited Raleigh for one night.  We had 3 inches of rain, and in the morning, the clouds blew away.
