WITH RAIN BEING DESPERATELY NEEDED IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, Monday’s forecast indicated some strong showers and thunderstorms for the region. Photographer Chris Lommel pointed his camera north to capture this amazing cloud cluster descending upon Monticello from the northwest at around 8:15 p.m. Monday. The view is from “Montiview Park,” located on Monti Hill, the site of the Mountain Bike Challenge Course. Community United Methodist Church is in the center foreground.
