If you saw thin wispy clouds followed by lower layered cloud what type of weather might you expect in the near future?

The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather.
