So embarrassing. So I shot many photos of this shelf cloud coming in, and this little guy on the bottom right appeared. And I’m thinking, is that a wall cloud? And after a few minutes of debating, I submitted a SKYWARN Report.
Now I would think the shelf cloud was self evident. Obviously I see that, and I reported :
Time, location, possible wall cloud.
The reply was: This appears to be a shelf cloud, thanks for your report.
I’m aware of the shelf cloud, it’s the lowering on the cloud that persisted for several minutes I’m referring to.
My day went from “yay, I captured a nice little shelf cloud” to being sad and embarrassed.
Has anyone else ever made a mistake on a report or misidentified an slc “scary looking cloud” as a wall cloud?
