Those thunderstorms that rolled through the region late yesterday produced some interesting cloud patterns.
BayToday readers were quick to grab their cameras and capture the action.
One reader suggested they are Mammatus clouds.
Wikipedia describes them as meaning "mammary cloud", which is a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud, typically cumulonimbus rainclouds, although they may be attached to other classes of parent clouds. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"). According to the WMO International Cloud Atlas, mamma is a cloud supplementary feature rather than a genus, species or variety of cloud. They are formed by cold air sinking down to form the pockets contrary to the puffs of clouds rising through the convection of warm air.
