Unique clouds spotted over West Virginia during storm
FRANKLIN, W.Va (WHSV) – check out these cool clouds seen with a slow moving storm in West Virginia Tuesday evening.
The Mammatus cloud, looking like a bubble or a balloon, or pouches. Typically these kind of clouds form at the bottom of the anvil in a cumulonimbus cloud. It’s very common for these kind of clouds to be associated with thunderstorms but typically when you see these, the storm has already passed or you may see them from a distant storm. So it’s not a precursor or a storm moving in. This also does not mean a tornado is nearby.
These can also form without a thunderstorm but typically you would see them with a thunderstorm nearby.
These clouds can form when water droplets from the anvil of a storm starts to sink, and that evaporates as it falls into drier air. That evaporation cools the air and has this sinking effect that you can see.
As these clouds spread out, they allow warm air to move upwards into the bottom of the cloud. Warm air rises and cold air sinks, so when warm air rises upward into the cloud, parts of the cloud begin to sink as they stay cooler than some other parts of the cloud. This creates the pouch pattern they have.
While these clouds are associated with thunderstorms, they are harmless. They are much more vibrant when coupled with brilliant colors at sunset.
They are a rare treat here, especially being so vivid and illuminated by the colors of the sunset.

Top 2025 West Virginia defensive line target Nic Moore was slated to make his decision earlier this week, but postponed it hours before his scheduled announcement. The Mountaineers felt good about their chances heading into that evening, especially since he had not taken his official visit to Tennessee.
After reconsidering and talking it over with his family, Moore delayed the decision and will now take that official to Tenneessee this weekend. It’s a three-team race with Vanderbilt also in the mix.
West Virginia has already secured commitments from Taylor Brown and Romando Johnson, each of whom have the flexibility to play on the edge. Moore is an anchor on the inside at the nose.
Moore took an official visit to West Virginia earlier this month and told Mountaineers Now, “I think it’s a place I can see myself at because of the brotherhood and unity in the goal of winning football games. That’s something that I want to be a part of no matter what. That is a non-negotiable.
“The interaction was amazing. There was a lot of jokes told and a lot of laughs during the visit. There wasn’t anything too surprising to me during the visit except for the bond that everyone had with each other.”
A new decision date has not been established.
