Based off of the likely altitude these clouds are at and their physical appearance, I believe the clouds captured above are alto-cumulus clouds.

Nice! Like the clouds you captured
I like that I can see motion in the clouds formations.
I think more contrast would help some of the clouds stand out more, and darken the tree. But overall, I think it is a beautiful picture!
It reminds me of big claws having ripped through the cloud.
A beautiful picture showing steady clouds!
Nice clouds! I like the variety of clouds that you captured in your image.
Going out of the state, very interesting!
The T-Scew looks very interesting! I enjoy the way the tress provides scale to the image.
I’d love an explanation for the chaotic squiggly lines in the skew-t diagram. Great photo!
I like that the tree is in the picture, I think editing it out would have cropped out too much detail from the clouds and it isn’t too distracting.
How do you feel about the tree being on the foreground of your image? While the clouds sit towards the back?
