Interested in Steve's explanation of the cloud formations (looks like rain, but no precipitation…) over Lake Sammamish on Tuesday, September 16, 2008…

Thanks !

I saw these too over Ballard. I bet there is some precip falling out - but minor and evaporating in the atmosphere before getting near the ground.

I believe these are called "Virga", precipitation that evaporates before hitting the ground.
