Neat Clouds and Virga At AccuWeather HQ

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior weather editor

Published Oct. 20, 2008 9:32 AM EST | Updated Oct. 6, 2009 3:36 PM EST

Copied

Multiple meteorologists were outside AccuWeather HQ this morning with their cameras, as some mid-level clouds began "precipitating out" causing Virga [WikiPedia] - precipitation not reaching the ground (in this case, snow). Click here for an 7MB, controllable animation from the old AccuCam, which was pointed in the right direction to see the clouds. Below are some photos that I took; click here to see them all.
