Cirrus fibratus, also called Cirrus filosus, [2] is a type of cirrus cloud.
The name cirrus fibratus is derived from Latin, meaning "fibrous".
[3] These clouds are similar to cirrus uncinus, commonly known as "mares' tails," yet different in that fibratus clouds do not have tufts or hooks at the end.
[5] Like other cirrus clouds, cirrus fibratus occurs at high altitudes.
They can indicate an approaching warm front[6] and can also be an indication that fair weather will follow.
