Predicting the Weather with Clouds

Step 3 Cirrus

Cirrus clouds are white wispy clouds that stretch across the sky. By all accounts, cirrus clouds indicate fair weather in the immediate future. However, they can also be an indication of a change in weather patterns within the next 24 hours (most likely a change of pressure fronts).

By watching their movement and the direction in which the streaks are pointed, you can get a sense of which direction the weather front is moving.
