Impressive hot pink #sunrise over southwest #Michigan on Friday morning. Sunrise itself seems indifferent. C'mon, happy weekend!

#Bolide over the southeast U.S. on early Tuesday morning. A bolide is a very bright #fireball #meteor that explodes in the atmosphere before reaching the ground as a meteorite. It's sometimes accompanied by a #sonicboom. This is security cam video from #Alabama. Credit: Katie Midgett

Isolated rain squalls developed near and went through #WashingtonDC & #AlexandriaVA this morning on the back edge of a cold front. This is the way they looked from a rooftop in #ArlingtonVA, followed by a simple doppler radar loop showing how small they were (despite the intensity) @metmattritter

A large #dustdevil formed near #SanAntonio under a mainly clear sky and during a hot, dry afternoon (as is when most dust devils form). Very annoying in the middle of soccer. As large as it was, the dust devil dissipated quickly.

This very bright but shallow #rainbow was spotted on Tuesday near #Yakima #Washington, and there was a faint secondary, also. We don't know if it was sunrise or sunset, but note that the sun was very low in the sky and was behind the video taker.

Hailstorm with soaking rains moves through the #Providence #RhodeIsland area, including #Warwick. It was not enough to warrant severe warnings, but it got a lot of viewers' attention.

A massive #duststorm, or #haboob, blasted through #Phoenix including #SkyHarbor Airport on Monday, just before #monsoon related heavy thunderstorms brought more wind damage and power outages.

#Owl taking an enthusiastic bath in southwest #Michigan after some recent welcome rains. We definitely don't get owl birdbaths often sent to us, so enjoy! To submit content like this, search for your local station's #ChimeIn section on their webpage.

Dual #waterspouts were spotted off the #HiltonHead beach on Tuesday. This is related to the storm system that will bring some beneficial soaking rains to the Carolinas for the next few days.

#Snow in #Mexico (#NewYork state)! Youngster sleds off the roof! The town located in prime Lake Effect Snow territory north of Syracuse has received more than 90" this month. Video in real time then slowed down. Luckily, not a very gnarly run.

#Hoar frost formed along #LakeWinnebago in #Wisconsin from dense #freezingfog, then broke up in sunshine and wind, "snowing" onto the photographer below. Kind of looks like hyperspace.

At dusk on Tuesday, as storms were ending, the sky over #Pensacola turned shades of red, purple, and pink. We saw a ton of pics and videos. Note the contrast at the beginning of this video with the indoor walls before going outside. Credit: Gina Clark via #ChimeIn #Florida #FLwx #Sara

First serious post on this platform is this sun pillar this morning in Hilton, NY. [Credit: Denise Duffy] This phenomenon happens when the sun is below the horizon and the direct light reflects off perfectly aligned ice crystals acting like itty bitty little mirrors.
