Around 7:15pm tonight the strangest clouds started floating over us. I've never seen anything like it-Huge Snowball Shaped Clouds. My daughter and I were left wondering what clouds like this mean??

What they mean is there's a lot of motion going on in the air. these used to be considered the precursors to tornadoes. they're seen around severe weather.
