Approaching

An approaching storm can be seen as I head to Death Valley today. Minutes after taking this the first rain drops began to fall.

All comments are welcome,

Nice layering effect for depth in the scene. Looks like a bit of microburst wind down at the surface.

Great atmospherics. Hope is does not ruin your planned milky way.

This is a classic desert storm where the air is so dry that the moisture evaporates before it hits the ground creating a dust storm at the surface. Good job, Jim.

Thanks Ben! It didn’t. It made for a super nice sunset which I will post a shot of later. The clouds then cleared during the night as per the forecast. Tonight will be Mono Lake, with a similar forecast.

I really appreciate the explanation of what we are seeing. Thanks so much Doug.

Jim, what glorious weather, everywhere you go, you have lucky clouds. I have been dreaming of rain in the Death Valley NP for ages.
