Clouds of the Day - Evolving Cumulus - Thursday, September 28, 2023

Today began with a low stratus overcast with a little light fog in the air. By early afternoon the Sun was out with plenty of blue sky interspersed with small cumulus clouds. The top photo shows the sky about a hour after the fog had dissipated, which was about 9:00 a.m. The final photo was taken at 2:00 p.m.
