Nice blending of the dark clouds and the shadows on the desert.
You'll be hearing a lot more of the Centennial High School band in the next few months.
Interesting comment about the sound on humid days, Packrat. I've mentioned several times in my blog that I conduct a forest breeding bird census during morning rush hour in late spring/early summer each year. My site is about 1 mile from the very heavily trafficked Pennsylvania Turnpike, and I've noticed just the opposite: on cool, clear, low humidity mornings, the turnpike noise almost overwhelms the birdsong (which is critical, because it's virtually impossible to see many birds hidden in the dense foliage and I have to rely on song for 90% of my identifications).
I think it's the overcast sky rather than the humidity that allows sound to travel in the desert, Scott.
