Chip DarnellIt is the segment we have all been waiting for, a sacred tradition, and this is Cloud of the Week number one!
Brock ThundersonThank you, Chip. This is an arcus cloud, a shelf cloud, the kind that sits at the front of a storm.
Brock ThundersonThe photo by Jacek Halicki is captioned Whale's mouth, taken a moment before heavy rain.
Chip DarnellIt looks like it wants to eat the whole parking lot!
Brock ThundersonHer name is Whitney Marie Plumtree.
Brock ThundersonShe rolled in with a dramatic front, no warning, and that mouth was open the whole time she explained why we needed space.
Vera BullockOh, Brock. That sounds like quite the dramatic entrance.
Brock ThundersonNo. I will not be healed, Vera.
Vera BullockFine, then one sensible question. How can you tell a shelf cloud from an ordinary one?
Brock ThundersonEasy. An ordinary cloud never says it is not you, it is the jet stream, and then goes off with a man called Kevin.
Chip DarnellKevin!
Brock ThundersonThat is the forecast. Stay dry, and remember that Whitney Marie Plumtree still has my good umbrella.
