What weather is it when cirrus clouds appear?
The appearance of cirrus clouds, aka mare's tails, reflects the appearance of a movement of a large air mass that is different to the current air mass. In other words, a colder air mass is bumping against a warmer air mass, and the leading edge of the cold air mass is where the cirrus clouds form. Generally, although not always, you can think of the cirrus clouds as an advance warning of worse weather (if you consider rain etc. being worse). Once they appear, you will start getting thicker and thicker cloud masses, usually in the next few days.
