This is what I saw for three mornings (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Small cumulus with virga .. virga beards! I have 20,000+ hours as a military and airline pilot, and I have never seen this before. Maybe it is not virga. Maybe it is some instability that keeps a cloud base from forming. I don't know.
