Happy Halloween! I have a cloud scavenger hunt for my Atmosphere and Weather course (which is a nice break from the physics of lapse rates, vapor pressure, saturation, and actually learning what a scew-T log P chart means). Would love for some mets @Eskimo Joe @MN Transplant@high risk@WxUSAF to weigh in on when I could find the "rare" clouds (or what soundings to look for on my own). Thanks!

Those rare ones seem tricky! I think you have to try the mountains for lenticular clouds... but I'd be pretty shocked if anyone gets any of those minus maybe the gravity waves.

I consider the dotted lines of clouds from NNE to SSW today to be gravity wave clouds from terrain induced rising and falling air.  I realize this doesn't help if you aren't currently in the western areas, but look for something similar in the future.  Lenticular is going to be really tough around here, especially outside of isolated thunderstorm season (for pileus).
