Beautiful multilayer lenticular! Lenticulars are my favorite cloud they are so revealing of the thermals around them. Thank you for sharing!

weatherdoc:
Great shot of a standing lenticular cloud. I've seen lenticulars three times here in Virginia in the past 8 years that I've lived here. With just the right conditions and wind flow over the Appalachians, we can see lenticular clouds here.

Not quite as interesting as your photo, this might look like the leading edge of a thunderstorm outflow but it's a photo of a snow squall that I took the other day, 14 Jan 2024. NWS issued a snow squall warning and we had a wind gust to 30 mph with a burst of moderate snow that didn't stick to the ground (too warm).

Nice shot Cienega. We mostly saw lenticulars over the Catalina Mountains in Tucson, highest elevation 9157 feet. Las Cruces is a cool place too, on the way up to Hatch for some great food and famous chilis! What a beautiful ride too. Keep going up the 25 past Elephant Butte Lake, another sweet spot.
