Thunderstorm over the Jemez Mountains in northern New Mexico, looking west from White Rock. The peaks on the left are Boundary Peak in Bandelier National Monument and St. Peter's Dome, in the Santa Fe National Forest. Sharp eyes (although it might be tough at this resolution) will pick out a white coating of hail on St. Peter's Dome.

Thanks for the comments, folks! I did not mention that this storm, which moved to the west, dumped an impressive 0.7 inches of rain at my house in about an hour...
