This wild sky had a rather simple cause. A shelf cloud, formed and driven by damaging outflow winds, advanced across the northwest Texas scrublands, while separate lifted layers above the gust front condensed cloud material into wild, banded and spiky formations. Meanwhile, trailing cores of heavy rain and hail also spit forth lightning, making westward travel hazardous in the area.
