@bobiverse Thanks! I’ve never heard of lenticular clouds before now - thanks for giving me the name of them!

@EvanLovely Basically what happens is the wind goes up and over the mountains creating a wave and the pancake like lenticular cloud forms where the (relatively) moist air is lifted by the wave, cools, and makes a cloud.
