Taken last night from my crib (click to enlarge):
Chicago: Gathering storm

Nice
Looks like “broken cumulus” which is usually the aftermath of a storm, not the gathering of one.
Cumulus fractus would be the meteorological term you are probably referring to, but I wonder if that would be correct. These clouds have a definite base and do not seem to have been sheered from another cloud layer.
They are ragged, I grant you that.
Do we have any Met Observers in the house?
Could it be “pedigogicus frustratatus” brought on today in Chicago by “politicus craniorectumitis,”? Ar! Ar!
I was there, too — alas, leaving Chitown today. Friends took me to a cantina-style Cantonese(?) restaurant specializing in Peking Duck, prepared at the table to use every part: http://sunwahbbq.com/. Bit of a mill, but v good.
Doesn’t look like a gathering storm to me!
The blues, the blues! What beautiful color! A very nice photo indeed.
