METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY
Rain can be seen falling out of clouds from a distance. It looks like streaks going from the cloud toward the ground. Just like curtains
that cover a window, a rain curtain will cover up the scenery behind it. Often the rain curtains will have varying visibilities. In some
places it will be easy to see through it to the background scenery, while in other places the rain will be so heavy that nothing can be
seen behind the rain curtain. The image below is an example of a rain curtain. It is not quite heavy enough to completely cover up Pikes
Peak and the mountains behind it. Shortly after this photo, heavy rain with small hail was observed at the location
the photo was taken.
