Thunderstorms and Cool Clouds from July 14, 2014

Meteorologist Jim Woodmencey
Monday afternoon and evening provided some great visuals in the sky, with clouds, lightning, and some cool colors around the Jackson Hole area.
Below is a selection of the great photos various weather fans sent in.
As I receive more, I will add them onto this blog post.
Thanks to all those who made a submission, and I will also try and rotate some of these onto the mountainweaher.com Homepage this next week. I was hard to pick just one favorite!

I ordered them by time of day to give you a feeling of the sequence of the day as storms rolled through in several waves between around 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm on July 14, 2014.

Other notes from Monday's Thunderstorms:
Lots of lightning, both in-cloud & ground strikes. "Marble" or "grape" sized hail was reported on the Teton Village Road and in Rafter-J south of town.
