scrilla is correct. Virga is rain or snow you can see in streaks coming down from the cloud but never reaches the ground. The right side is close to virga but not quite there. More knowlegable weather experts can correct me at will. Action: \| Ignore User

I think I am going to side with Mammatus on this one. Remember, Mammatus do not only form on the backside of a strong thunderstorm and can form with many other cloud types. Interesting capture nonetheless Action: \| Ignore User
