Default Guess this Cloud!



I saw this beauty at work the other day, although I don't know what it is or how it got there.

looks somewhat like a lenticular cloud associated with mountain wave turbulance....is there a mountain range within 50 miles of that pic?

alto stratus is stratus between 6500ft and 20k ft. Being that the OP confirmed there is a mountain range near by, those do appear to be lenticular clouds, note the airfoil like shape

Looks like some type of front passing through. Not the typical saucer shape that I usually see with lenticular.
