Warmer weather in Colorado brings cloud formations that are characteristic to the summer season. Summer in the Colorado front range typically brings convective activity that boils up cumuloform clouds, some of which accelerate into anvil shaped storm cells that bring rain and hail.
What are not often seen in the summer, at least for a hack weather observer like Th’ Gaussling, are lenticular clouds. These are characteristic of the cooler seasons. Indeed, since I have been following weather here (late 1970’s), I have never witnessed lenticular clouds in July, at least until yesterday. Very curious.

I know this sounds strange, but every photo of those clouds I’ve sourced off the web has been taken within the last two decades and in areas known to hold military bases.. I don’t know if it could be related to this> http://www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usaf/2025/v3c15/v3c15-1.htm ?
Kind Regards.
I find that if I fashion a hat out of aluminum foil, the mind rays from the lenticular clouds tend to create less stupor. It is useful to make a brim on the hat, I’ve found. Remember to remove it in a storm lest a lighning bolt finds you.
Whatever man. Enjoy sporting your tinfoil hat in Lala-Land – De’Nial — Population: YOU.

Hey man! I’m just having a little fun here. Have you actually seen lenticular clouds? The Mountains west of Denver have them quite often. They are a standing wave phenomenon. Often they take the form of a stack of individual clouds apparently sitting atop one another. This is due to stratified layers of varying humidity upstream.
I did check out the link. Thanks for the heads up.
