Observed Cumulonimbus incus mammatus above Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park today. These pouch-like formations develop beneath the anvil due to descending air saturated with liquid water and turbulence in the upper troposphere.

Light stratiform precipitation associated with a weakening warm front and mid-level altostratus/altocumulus has ceased. Subsidence in the post-frontal airmass, decreasing mid-level RH, and stabilized lapse rates are promoting sky clearing and enhanced nocturnal radiative cooling. No significant CAPE observed; convection unlikely. Mobile Snapshot #meteorology #weatherdynamics #cloudphysics

These little ones are barn swallow chicks (Hirundo rustica), tucked safely into their signature mud nest.
Barn swallows build their nests with hundreds of mud pellets, reinforced with straw and often reused year after year.
Soon, these wide-eyed fluffballs will take to the skies!

Spotted a stunning lunar halo over Valencia (Spain) a few weeks ago. Ice crystals in the upper atmosphere created this perfect ring around the Moon, with a bright planet (likely Jupiter or Venus) shining nearby. Nature’s quiet light show never disappoints.

Stormchasing isn’t just a hobby—it’s a passion that fuels my curiosity and respect for nature’s raw power. I captured this shot during a thunderstorm in Spain, straight from the heart of the storm—

New to Mastodon and excited to share moments like this—Caught this elegant trace of a wingtip vortex slicing through the sky—possibly the outer arc of a horseshoe vortex. These swirling trails reveal the invisible physics of lift in action!
