What can anyone tell me about Horse's/Mares Tales cloud formations?
The only thing I remember in firefighting was that this colud formation showed that there are high winds aloft.
I am not remembering what causes them or what weather is predictied the next day.

Ok, I did google it now and WIKI said that it can signify stormy windy weather can follow these cloud formations. Other than that I am still pretty vauge on this.
Do any of you BW paddlers use this cloud formation when planning your next days paddle? Thanks for any input.

Wiki Mares Tales

In my experience- mares tales are a reach in trying to get any solid prediction of what the weather is going to do in 24+ hours. There is just too many variables of what could happen with them being present. They are not a strong predictor of the weather in any time frame, other than tranquil and quiet for at least several hours and likely much more. -- though I do slightly agree they can be a harbinger that a warm front is approaching.

I think they look like *mare's tails*, hence, the name.

I've always said they mean rain within 24 hours. Often correct.
