What are lenticular clouds?

Lenticular clouds are very smooth, round or oval, lens-shaped cloud that are often seen, singly or stacked in groups, close to or on the sheltered side of a mountain ridge.

"Lenticular clouds don't 'move,'" AccuWeather meteorologist Jesse Ferrell said. "They are continually reformed over the same location by new air rising up and over a mountain, condensing and producing the clouds."
