As the week following Easter began, the forecast was for comfortable, warm temperatures and partly cloudy skies. There was little indication that an impressive lenticular formation would manifest for much of the day. This was easily the best formation that had developed since the middle of March. The way its shape was altered throughout the day is a good example of the drama and spectacle that these clouds add to the majesty of Mount Shasta. April has seemed to be fairly lenticular-free in the past but given the meteorological disturbances today, it was no surprise that an impressive specimen would make an appearance.
Rather than another lengthy report, I think this cloud is best documented with images and some short descriptions. Hopefully this is not the only spring lenticular we get.
