According to the AccuWeather weather glossary, a shelf cloud is ‘a low, horizontal wedge-shaped cloud, associated with a thunderstorm gust front.’
Shelf cloud formations are often mistaken for tornadoes or funnel clouds. They are normally an indication that a storm is approaching.
Shelf clouds are low hanging, which makes them appear even larger to the eye. The clouds can even be found just a couple hundred feet above the ground.
