A shelf cloud is one of the most photographed weather phenomenon but how exactly does it form.

A shelf cloud occurs within the leading edge of a thunderstorm, especially if you have a line of storms together. As the thunderstorm grows, rain cooled air will begin to sink down to the surface. Out ahead of the storm, the warm air will rise and will allow warm moist air to feed into the thunderstorm.
