An interesting cloud sighting over Regina excited many on social media Thursday morning.
At 6:30 a.m, people started posting photos of an eerie looking arcus cloud rolling over the city. This particular cloud is known as a shelf cloud, which is often seen on a stormy day.
Shelf clouds are wedge shaped and appear at the leading edge of a thunderstorm. They are formed by the outflow from a developing storm cell.
There is potential for thunderstorms and severe weather in eastern Saskatchewan Thursday. If you capture any interesting clouds that you’d like to share, send them to tiffany.lizee@globalnews.ca
