Virga is rain that evaporates before hitting the ground. It’s also called ‘dry storm’. This one I saw in Olympia, Washington and was backlit by the sunset.

An extraordinary sight, Allan. I’ve not come across that before.
Not a common occurrence, but not totally rare, either
Thanks
Wow!!!!
Fantastic capture, Allan! I liked watching virga when I lived on the prairies.
Thanks, Lynette. Yes, the prairies are good for virga.
Didn’t know about this, it’s lovely….
