Unusual clouds formation

[Marko Korosec]

Hey all,

I was chasing few strong supercells in northeast Italy on July 9th and noticed some cloud formations. I haven't seen something like those here before...here are some pics:

I am not really sure what caused a formation of them, but I passed under the meso and noticed some inflow clouds which you can see on all images from the right, those thick lines with undulatus features. But what is that formation more to the left in center of the photo? Usually rain free base would be more smoothed.

Thanks for any opinions!

It's possible that it could be some cloud base scud, from to an increase of ground heat, as I noticed something similar yesterday, I was in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, UK whilst making my way to the airport in cardiff, and there was a thunderstorm, which did have signs of rotation, (Including a small area of isolated rotaion, that was litterally right above me, moving NNE, but it was rotating too slowly to be able to produce a funnel) but I noticed that there were areas of scud at cloud base level, but it wasn't quite like the formation that you have shown, it wasn't as clean cut as this.

I hope that this is of some help at least
