Hello Marie. My name is Mike . I live in Phoenix Az. We have a monsoon season from July to September and I’ve seen examples of what you have captured. I think wind is the key element. Winds pushing around sluggish cumulus creates a lot of eddies and whirlpools where clouds in transition take place. Below are two pictures of the same general direction maybe 15 minutes apart. Stratus manifests itself around convectus and nimbus cumulus. When I see that I fear for some heavy rain before its over. So I think you caught some humidty getting condescended out of the atmosphere on its way to be a whole sheet of stratus…or fail in trying. The winds may have proved to be too much.

Spotted some interesting clouds in my garden today. Very windy outside. I think they are Stratocumulus? However some had a very smooth appearance which looked different than usual and there was also a very dark cloud in the middle!
