Hundreds of years ago, scientists and keen observers noticed that high clouds preceded storm systems. It turns out that the jet stream was carrying high level moisture in the form of cirrus clouds into a region ahead of the more slowly moving cold front at the surface with its lower clouds. This time lapse looks west from the NWS office in Elko. You can see how the cirrus clouds thicken and move into the area from the west, the direction the storm system is coming from. Science is cool.
