Another altocumulus and cirrus day

03/08/12, 9 am, looking northwest

Another warm day that began with cirrus clouds joined by low cumulus clouds. With a high today of 75 degrees F and gusting winds, the sky was a changing panorama of high and low clouds. Later in the day, the cumulus clouds grew in size to become massive towers racing across the sky.


A cold front is following this warm air coming through Central Virginia overnight bringing rain on Friday. Saturday is forecast to be clear and cool, a good night for enjoying a bonfire and a moon only two nights past full.
