Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Lenticular Cloud?

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge is moving in to dry us out and seriously warm us up to not only normal temperatures, but even above normal temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3 Show no frontal systems moving into Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through next Monday show a quiet weather pattern until a frontal system slides into the Pacific Northwest next Sunday and Monday.
