Those of us NOT living in Tacoma or surrounding areas will appreciate these pictures
I know a couple of you saw this on Friday it was so amazing, people were pulling over on the freeway to take
pictures.
Mt. Rainier puts on a show!

Our little dry streak is about to come to an end. But if you looked at Mt. Rainier today, you would have known
that already.
Take a look at some of these incredible clouds captured over Mt. Rainier today.
Those are called "lenticular clouds" They're 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. 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.
