| Caption | A ragged shelf cloud associated with a thunderstorm's gust front advances north along Interstate 49 near Shreveport, Louisiana, on June 14, 2015. The fingers hanging down from the horizontal shelf are fractus clouds. Shelf clouds form when cold, dense air from a thunderstorm's downdraft flows underneath and lifts warm, moist air surrounding the storm. | |
