SO WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
• ON TO THE WEATHER PREDICTIONS
Created by Joshua Toebbe NOHS 2015
HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS (16,000-43,000 FT)
• CIRRUS
• THE DIRECTION THE WISPS POINT ON A CIRRUS CLOUD CAN TELL YOU WHAT DIRECTION THE WEATHER FRONT IS MOVING
• INDICATE FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE RPESENT

HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS (16,000-43,000 FT)
• CIRROCUMULUS
• GENERALLY INDICATES FAIR WEATHER FOR THE NEAR FUTURE
• IN TROPICAL CLIMATES (DEPENDING ON SEASON) THESE MIGHT INDICATE A COMING STORM

HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS (16,000-43,000 FT)
• CIRROSTRATUS
• USUALLY INDICATES MOIST WEATHER WITHIN 12-14 HOURS (ESPECIALLY WHEN DARKENING)
