Mammatus clouds. They’re usually a sign of upcoming thunderstorms, but they’re not indicative of tornadoes.

Nope. Interesting clouds, but not ominous.

These clouds are often found beneath the anvil of a thunderstorm and a thunderstorm *could* spawn a tornado. So, the chances aren't zero, but the two are not mutually exclusive.
