The day started out hot, humid and sunny. But soon enough, another storm system was starting to make its way through the area.

Some Mammatus clouds:

Mid-day, we got some blue sky with a few scattered Altocumulus and Cirrus clouds.

Late afternoon, the wind picked up, some pea-sized hail mixed with rain and now, a dark severe thunderstorm is moving north to the east of us. Nothing good comes from dark clouds like that. There's a constant low rumble and the breeze is cool and humid. I'm sure we are under a Cumulonimbus.

Last night we got over 3 inches of rain, but thankfully there weren't any tornadoes or flooding in my town. Today's sky was beautiful and the breeze cool. A perfect kind of summer day - hot in the sun, but cool in the shade.

Altocumulus clouds mixed with higher-flying cirrus.
