Active weather over the La Sal Mountains... John Buchanan May 30, 2021 this hot and windy afternoon. Could be an exciting late afternoon with lightning but I hope we get some rain. I estimate the highest cloud tops to be around 28,000 feet in this image that I shot returning from my sojourn to see the Comet Thrower. Another large storm cell forms over the Book Cliffs. Those are the Merrimac and Monitor Buttes, center and right, respectively.
