Virga dancing across the blue sky!
Ever notice such clouds?
When raindrops or ice crystals start to fall but evaporate before they touch the surface, virga form.

Have you seen #clouds where it's raining … but the rain never reaches the ground? Meteorologists call it #virga. You see virga where the air is dry and often warm. The rain evaporates as it falls, before hitting Earth. Such as in a desert or at high altitudes. 🌧️

It’s just too dry at the surface. Can see some 20-25 dBZ returns from the Cheyenne radar which is looking aloft at a greater beam height and range over the Denver Metro. Whereas the Denver radar is showing little in the way of returns much closer to the surface. #sublimation #virga

Von Sonne beschienene Bewölkung mit Virgen, darunter Dunst- und Nebelreste
Ein kitschiger Störenfried namens Bewölkung machte heute Morgen dem Nebel gebietsweise den Garaus. Vorübergehend waren auch schöne Fallstreifen oder "Wolkenbüschel", sogenannte #Virga zu sehen (verdunstender Niederschlag). Foto aus Seon AG: Meteo Meldungen, MeteoSwiss App / #MeteoMeldungen

'Virga' is the name for rain you can see falling, but which evaporates as it passes through drier air below the clouds, and so never reaches the ground.
#Virga over the forested ranges SW of #Ballarat, just now. Not an uncommon sight in an Australian summer, when a rain-bearing front pushes into dry, warm air below.

Relatively clear #sunset this evening at #Greatstone, with a sliver of #moon to the south west and a shower cloud to the north west which looks like #virga with the rain evaporating before reaching the ground 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #EastCoastKin

This odd #cloud was in the sky most of the afternoon. It produced continuous #virga.

#Sunset this evening along the central coast of California was amazing. The light streaks are #virga, rainfall not reaching the ground. Remnants of TS Mario. The virga is high enough to be illuminated by the sun (already set for me). Cloud shadows on other clouds. #photography #MorroBay

Color photo of a western US landscape taken looking towards the east from the slopes of Colorado’s Spanish Peaks, with the setting sun lighting up the virga under a dying summer rainstorm.

A burnt-orange pre-dawn sky is the backlight for a soft drape of incipient rain that doesn't quit reach the ground, the gentle haze of virga. Below the suburban skyline is picked out by a few early-morning lights.
Good Morning!

I know this phenomenon has a name (see attached song), but I like to call it "ghost rain."

Sometimes a shower will try to develop in dry air, but it evaporates before it reaches the ground... That's exactly what we're seeing with this cloud over Little Rock!! #virga
This picture was taken by none other than FOX16 News anchor Kevin Kelly! #ARwx
