This is reminder to look up at the sky occasionally.

Either that or the hot air rising from Government Center.

We got an ID on those clouds?

Someone on Twitter was saying undulatus but I'm not sure.
I had to google that...

...and now my head is full of terrifying "The Ten Commandments" images from that bit with the angel of death.
I've seen mammatus clouds before, in 2011, in Brighton. I was standing in the parking lot of the Whole Foods, along with a lot of other people, just staring at the sky, and then I realized that while I didn't know what those clouds were, they probably weren't good. There were a lot of warnings up -- that was the day that the tornado hit Springfield.
Mammatus are cool but freaky

I've only seen them once, and not a really clear version, but it was pretty wild to see the sky look like that.
They're indeed undulatus asperatus clouds

Damn, that's a great picture. Look at all that turbulence up there.
Kicking myself for missing these. I looked out the window at the wrong time and saw fast moving scud instead, with a mix of other clouds. I saw these once over Harvard Square a few years ago. So amazing.
Anyway, here's some cool some stuff about them:

I can remember heading out to UMass to collect my youngest for Spring Break and seeing nifty clouds like this.
From my home office, I now think of a quilt-batting sky as a feature of early spring.
In case anyone is interested, these clouds and all clouds have a really cool fan base called the Cloud Appreciation Society - https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/
Their mission is to push back against the banality of blue-sky thinking!
