Morning Sky Watch
On this crisp autumn morning, the sky displayed a magnificent array of cirrus clouds. The observations were made from a small hill overlooking the town, providing an unobstructed view of the upper atmosphere.
The clouds appeared highly fibrous and white, indicating a significant altitude. Sunlight passed through them easily, creating a soft, diffused light across the landscape. No halos were observed, suggesting the ice crystals were not optimally oriented for such a phenomenon at this moment.
Afternoon Shift
By afternoon, the cirrus formations had evolved. The earlier 'mare's tails' seemed to be stretching out, becoming more like Cirrus Fibratus.
The change suggests a shift in upper atmospheric conditions, possibly a more stable air mass moving in, or simply the natural evolution of the existing high-altitude moisture. The sun was still visible but noticeably less bright through the thickening cirrus.
