Altocumulus clouds at dusk.

Altocumulus clouds at dusk. A deck of small-element altocumulus cloud. This is often called a 'mackerel sky', due to the resemblance to the scales of a mackerel. Altocumulus is a middle-altitude water or mixed water/ice cloud. With sufficiently low temperatures, ice crystals may form and act as nucleation sites for snow.
