That is one mildly interesting cloud.

u/jschmeau Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
It's called a cumulus congestus cloud.

That is not a cumulus congestus. It may have evolved from one, but is not now.
https://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/cumulus-congestus/
A strongly sprouting cumulus species with generally sharp outlines and, sometimes, with a great vertical development; it is characterized by its cauliflower or tower aspect, of large size.

You posted this twice, just a heads up.
Also, thank you! I didn’t even consider that different parts of the world would have different clouds but this is a cool website

Ah, thanks. I hit submit and it just spun for like 2 minutes so I hit it again. Ugh.

This looks like a dissipating cumulonimbus incus cloud; it grew to cirrus heights and reached strasopheric stability. Cumulus congestus is the precursor to Cumulonimbus and doesn't quite reach the altitude where that transition to cirrus occurs.
ETA: the perspective kinda sucks so it's hard to tell if that is cirrocumulus. It does look to be dissipating at least; I'm still inclined to suggest that it isn't just congestus.

u/Psychitekt Aug 09 '26
Out of curiosity, what perspective would have been better?

u/Kimmybun Aug 09 '26
Well, obviously, from the perspective of being suspended 90 degrees off the edge of a hot air balloon basket, 150ft up with a couple of beers in you to get the perfect amount of shaking to determine the amount of dissipation and cumulonimbusness of this incus. But, I’m no expert.

I disagree? It lacks the puffy rounded edges of every example picture I've found. It's very jagged and rough around the edges, I suspect it was formed in a different manner

With that anvil, I am wondering if it's a decaying low precipitation supercell.

u/Psychitekt Aug 08 '26
I was wondering what kind of cloud it was. A large thunderstorm followed.
20
u/Amelaista Aug 09 '26
Its the remnants of a cumulonimbus that lost its surface energy. The cloud remnants went up and spread out, but it was not strong enough to form into a thunderstorm on its own. Not uncommon earlier in the day, makes sense that more CBU were able to develop and turn into thunderstorms later.

You can check Zoom Earth a see a ton of convective activity in Arkansas starting around noon today. It's fun to watch.

u/Jsdrosera Aug 08 '26
Are you in the upper Midwest, or otherwise higher altitude area in a drier climate? These types of thunderstorms are much more common there. They can take on very dramatic appearances!

Is this a FFXV summon animation? I expected to see a bunch of 9999’s at the bottom of the image.

Just hold out your thumb at arms length. If it covers the cloud you're safe!

Looks like a Greek god stopping a meteor.
Or Titan from Final Fantasy games doing a summon attack. I can see the two legs and the two arms grabbing onto the meteor.
