While Driving to dinner the other night with my friends, I noticed a fairly rare sight in the sky. Pictured below are mammatus clouds. Named so because of their breast-like shape, these clouds are associated with strong thunderstorms and most commonly they occur at the base of a cumulonimbus (anvil shaped thunderstorm cloud). Mammatus clouds aren't dangerous and usually occur after severe thunderstorms. If you think these are neat clouds, it's all the more reason you should watch the sky for unusual sights!
