Cuesta College Mammatiform Clouds

The scene from Cuesta College North County Campus (NCC) late this morning as a storm front approached. Note the mammatus clouds and the rain showers descending from them.

Note the smoke lazily rising from behind the hills in the middle of the image... that was from a controlled burn that was set prior to the arrival of this storm front which did pass over dumping a brief, intense rain shower. Photos by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
