Lenticular cloud! After the wind travels over the mountains on the right, it forms a standing wave on the lee side, where we are. The crest of this wave is just high enough to cool below the dew point so a cloud forms there. As the air continues along the wave and drops into the next trough, it warms up again and the cloud evaporates.
