Default Strange cloud structure associated with T.S. "Ivan"

The "rope" is getting on for 1000 miles long. From the corresponding IR
image it can be seen that it is low cloud. I suppose it is the result of
convergence but it is surprisingly well-defined yet very narrow over
such a long distance.
Interesting ,seems to be along the ITCZ Norman
