HALIFAX There were dramatic skies and weather in the form of thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday. Many fantastic pictures and videos of that weather came into the CTV Atlantic Weather Centre. Here are some of those pictures and a brief explanation of what is at work in them. Shelf (Arcus) Cloud The bulk of the storm pictures I received were of a very ominous-looking cloud formation known as a shelf cloud. A shelf cloud falls under the family of arcus clouds in meteorology. They frequently form along the leading edge of the gust front associated with a thunderstorm. Characteristics of the cloud are a smoothed and arcing appearance, with the exception of the bottom of the cloud being more ragged.
