Monsoons over SoCal Deserts

This past week, we had the monsoon's kick-up in the deserts of SoCal and they do make for some mighty impressive views from the Los Angeles area. The above photo was taken from Long Beach Airport looking southeast towards Lake Elsinore and Palm Springs. These storms effect air traffic as well for flights bound to Las Vegas (LAS/KLAS) and Phoenix (PHX/KPHX) creating some very long ATC flow programs or just outright ground stops.
