Incredible display of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves (KH waves)! Greenhorn Mountain Colorado City Wind shear (wind is blowing slower at the bottom of the cloud and faster at the top of the cloud) causes the clouds to tilt down shear and create wave patterns. #COwx #KHWaves 📸 Kevin Hughes

This is NUTS!!! Rare KH waves on top of an arcus cloud at the leading edge of a line of storms. KH (Kelvin Helmholtz) instability is an indication of a change in velocity or wind shear within the arcus cloud. Looking north from Windsor 😎 #COwx #KHWaves 📸 Brent Dearborn

Lookie what I found last night ~7:00pm between storms in #QuincyIL! #KHWaves are amazing! @KHQARich @KHQATegan @NWSStLouis @NStewCBS2 @ofallonweather @Stormchaser_TS @StormSpotterSTL @MO_WX @FMtheWeatherman @thunderhead_wx @KDeitsch_wx @JaredMaples2 @mabyrd68 @GCgal28 @_mermalade

Check out these Kelvin-Helmholtz waves forming over southern Alaska. They form due to the difference in wind velocities between two layers of "fluid." While the atmosphere isn't technically a fluid, it does act like one! #akwx #khwaves
