Lenticular clouds tend to form over the summit of high peaks. They are shaped like a biconvex lens, or an upside-down saucer.
It’s common to see them slowly emerging in the morning, then growing into storms by the afternoon.
The photos above of 12,280-foot Mt. Adams provide a good example.

Several hours later and the lenticular cloud is growing

Another hour and the clouds are higher and extend more than the width of the mountain
