Stratus vs. Fog

SKY WATCH FRIDAY time! I am SUPER busy with stimulus yuck, so I might not get a chance to say hi. Please don't take offense. Thanks for the visit in advance. Our hosts: Klaus Sandy Ivar Wren Louise Fishing Guy

Thanks, also,to Dot and Tom, who were instrumental in the success of this blogging event. You should definitely come fly with us!

Today, I would like to share with you my morning sky... this is what greeted me as I left for work this morning. Mr. Sun worked feverishly to break through a thick stratus haze that settled overnight in my neck of the woods. Stratus is similar to fog in that it is a low cloud cover. The distinction is that fog comes in contact with the ground where stratus remains a hundreds of feet above the ground. The sun works hard to cause it to lift.

With El Nino breathing down our necks, doesn't look like we can expect much of anything out of hurricane season this year. Shear is powerful, and things just aren't condusive for development. I might have to wait another 6 years to chase Hurricane Bill... sigh.

We had some wild weather here yesterday. We actually had a cell that went severe with it's hail potential and amazing wind. The bulk of it went well north of me, but Tally did severe warn it. Apparently, it knocked some trees and power lines down in Ray City, GA.

RAY CITY BERRIEN GA
MULTIPLE TREES AND POWERLINES DOWN 5-10 MILES SE OF NASHVILLE (TAE)

I enjoyed watching the wind. The trees were all blown hard, and driving home, I noticed some large limbs had been knocked into the road. Outside of that and potentially rained out fishing plans tomorrow, we've got nothing.

Have a lovely day!!!
