Know what a "scud cloud" is?

I have no idea, but after having hail pelt us moments ago, the tv dudes are reassuring us that we have scud clouds, not tornadic ones.

Scud clouds, a type of fractus cloud, are low, detached, irregular clouds found beneath nimbostratus oder cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are often ragged oder wispy in appearance. When caught in the outflow (downdraft) beneath a thunderstorm, scud clouds will often Bewegen faster than the storm clouds themselves. When in an inflow (updraft) area, scud clouds tend to rise and may exhibit lateral movement ranging from very little to substantial.
Scud clouds are formed as the warmer (and often Mehr moist) updraft of a thunderstorm lifts the relatively warm air near the surface. These clouds condense as the warm, moist air saturates through ascent and is pushed outward from the storm. Scud clouds are very commonly found on the leading edge of a storm front. In this area of a storm, scud are commonly associated with shelf clouds.
Scud clouds may also form when an updraft ingests precipitation-cooled air from the downdraft. Scud forming in this region of the storm, if moving laterally, will tend to Bewegen inward towards the dominant updraft. Rising scud may condense and organize into a Wand cloud.
Scud clouds can often be mistaken for a developing tornado, landspout, oder waterspout. The difference is determinable Von identifying if there's any rotation (not just movement) of the scud clouds. If any rotation occurs, a tornado, landspout, oder waterspout has a high chance of forming.
