WFAA in Dallas features photo by Friona resident
Friona, Texas was mentioned on the WFAA Dallas news channel last week for a photo that was submitted of a somewhat rare formation of clouds called Mammatus. The photo, taken by Landon Weatherly, was submitted to the news station by former Friona resident Justin Grimsley, who inquired about the cause of this specific type of cloud. WFAA’s Chief Meteorologist Pete Delkus showed various other Mammatus formations sent in by Texas residents before pausing on the photo submitted by Justin and using it to describe the process. He explains how updrafts take moisture-rich air into a storm while heavier, more saturated air sinks, forming the pouch-like clouds in the sky. He also explained to one of the newscasters that Friona is in the panhandle, since upon asking, she claimed she did not know.
