These pictures were sent to me today by my Father-in-law of Mt. Rainier... Those are called "lenticular clouds" They're caused when the
winds are just right so when they flow over Mt. Rainier ,
the air gets pushed upward where it cools and
condenses into clouds.. Depending on the winds,
you can get some amazing clouds formations as we've
seen so far today. Here is more information on what causes
them from an earlier blog entry.
It's usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically
the moist flow that precedes a storm around here
is the perfect set up for these clouds.

Thought that I would share them with everyone...
