    Not an arcus, but what looks to be a series of Stratocumulus volutus. Nice find nonetheless!

    Arcus is a supplementary feature attached to a strong convective cloud (Cumulonimbus or possibly a strong Cumulus). This isn’t the case here.

      Ah thank you! I tried finding the correct term for them and was kind of stuck between Arcus, Volutus, and Morning Glory clouds but all the images associated with them didn’t line up quiiite right, so looks like I went with the wrong name lol
