Amazing Viewer Photos from Friday's Storm
Submitted by Jeff Huffman on Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:30pm (BACK TO TOP)
We've had a lot of viewers send us some amazing photos of the severe thunderstorms that rolled through portions of Mid-Missouri on Friday, July 29th.
The lowered cloud deck you see in the following photos is called a Shelf Cloud. A shelf cloud is a low, horizontal wedge-shaped cloud. Rising cloud motion often can be seen in the leading (outer) part of the shelf cloud, while the underside often appears turbulent and wind-torn. Occasionally people seeing a shelf cloud may believe they have seen a wall cloud. This is a common mistake, since an approaching shelf cloud appears to form a wall made of cloud. Generally speaking, a shelf cloud appears on the leading edge of a storm, and a wall cloud will usually be at the rear of the storm. A very low shelf cloud is the best indicator that a potentially violent wind squall is approaching.

Mid-Missouri will escape the oppressive heat and humidity this weekend, with high temperatures in the low 90's. Sunday will be the best day of the weekend, with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine. However, the heat and humidity return Monday and Tuesday, with air temperatures in the mid 90's and heat indices well over 100.
