Rotor winds are associated with mountainous terrain and strong winds aloft.

When strong winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour are blowing perpendicular to a mountain range, expect mountain waves and strong downdrafts for many miles on the leeward side. The presence of mountain waves can be identified by lenticular(lens shaped) clouds on the downwind side of the mountains. Rotor winds are also associated with this wind condition.
