  Cirrus spissatus mamma and Cirrus floccus

  Dense patches of Cirrus spissatus following the passage of a surface cold front. The patches are aligned transverse to the upper level winds and also show signs of convective development, suggesting instability at their level. This is confirmed by a distinctive patch of Cirrus floccus with trails and Cirrus floccus in the initial stage of development. Some indistinctive mamma completes the story.
