Take a look at some of these
incredible clouds captured over Mt.
Rainier. They are
called "lenticular clouds"; caused when the air
flow is just right so when it flows over Mt. Rainier, the air gets
pushed upward where it cools and condenses into clouds. Depending
on how smooth the flow is, you can get some amazing clouds formations
as we've seen so far today. 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.
