A very picturesque scene was captured in a time lapse video in Indian Hills, Colorado, as heavy fog moved over the mountains during the sunrise on March 5.
The storm track shifted north and stormy conditions returned to northern Europe late last week. The next in a line of storms moved into the area on Monday and will continue to push across the region through Tuesday.
Rain arrived in western parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland Monday afternoon. During Monday night, rain overspread the rest of the British Isles.
On Tuesday, rain is expected to continue at times in parts of Northern Ireland, Wales, northern England and western Scotland. Elsewhere in the British Isles, most showers will taper off throughout the day as the storm advances into central Europe.
With flood alerts and warnings still in effect across the United Kingdom, any amount of rain can aggravate flooding, especially where rivers are still high. It was the wettest February in recorded history after some locations reported almost double the amount of normal rainfall for the month.

Most areas from northern France to western Poland can expect a couple of showers passing through the area. Steadier rain is expected in Belgium, Netherlands, western Germany, northeastern France, Denmark and into southern Scandinavia.
Most locations across northwestern Europe can expect rainfall totals under 13 mm (0.5 of an inch). However, where the steadiest rain falls, totals can climb closer to 25-50 mm (1-2 inches).
Gusty winds out of the west to northwest around 30-40 mph (48-64 km/h) will accompany the storm as it races through the area. Along western-facing coasts and in high elevations, gusts can reach an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Snow is expected to fall in the higher elevations across the region as the storm brings in cooler air.
A messy pattern is forecast to continue through at least the rest of the week with multiple quick-hitting storms expected. While this will bring outbreaks of blustery showers to the United Kingdom and north central Europe, none of the storms are expected to bring widespread impacts.
