Fair Weather Forecasters: Cirrocumulus Clouds Above the Rocky Mountain Front Range and Denver

Dusk, 18 Feb 24

 

These clouds look like cotton balls; small, puffy, and patchy clouds often seen in rows. They are made of ice crystals and generally are at least 18,000 ft. above the ground. They may appear briefly or last several minutes. They tend to be transparent and follow cirrus clouds, bringing warmer temperatures. Sure enough, the wintry cold weather gave way to at least three days of fair weather in the 50s-60s(F).
