AUSTIN, Texas -- There was something vaguely reminiscent of extraterrestrial life in the sky Monday evening in Central Texas.
A large cumulonimbus cloud, seen as far as Round Rock and Austin, could have passed for a spaceship, had it not been transparent.
KVUE's Chief Meteorologist Albert Ramon said the cloud type appears when you mix together moisture, instability and lift. The upward motion in the atmosphere produced a lone storm out west in Gillespie County, near Fredericksburg.
