May 15 Clouds

After the large complex of morning showers and thunderstorms exited the state, sunshine broke out and heated the waterlogged ground. As this occurred, an expansive cumulus field developed and was joined by other mid and high level clouds throughout most of the afternoon.


As the sun began to set, a veil of mares' tails cirrus clouds were present in the sky along with the moon and weakening convection off to the northwest.
