Iowans pointed their cameras and phones to the sky Friday morning as gravity wave clouds moved through the state. Chief Meteorologist Jason Sydejko explained the cool weather phenomenon."It looks like the storms to the north caused a gravity wave that has led to some roll clouds moving overhead.

The upward movement causes clouds followed by a sinking motion on the other side that makes the clouds almost look like they're rolling tubes," Jason said.Check out these photos of the impressive display:Here's what the wave clouds looked like on vlog's radar:
