foehn wall
The leeward edge of the orographic stratiform cap cloud as seen from the lee side of a mountain barrier, preceding or during a foehn or chinook event.

This cloud often signifies the occurrence of orographic precipitation, especially snowfall in the cold season, over the peaks. See foehn cloud.
