Cloud Wisps
Sincere thanks to Kennebunker , as I now know these cloud formations are referred to as "Mares’ Tails~
These are cirrus uncinus clouds formed by Mares_tailice crystals in the upper troposphere. They get their name from their fluffy elongated shape that indicates strong winds at high altitudes – a sure sign of an approaching weather front.

And true to its predictions, Connecticut experienced a weather front two days later (remnants of Hurricane Barry from the Gulf of Mexico) with lightning, thunder and downpours.
