Precipitation falling from a cloud, usually in wisps or streaks, but evaporating before it reaches the ground.
Visible wisps or strands of precipitation falling from clouds that evaporate before reaching the surface.
It is a patch of precipitation that evaporates before it reaches the ground. It appears as wisps or streaks of rain or snow falling out of a cloud. As the precipitation evaporates, it cools the air and starts a down draft. In certain cases, shafts of virga may precede a microburst; see dry microburst.
Wisps or streaks of water or ice particles falling out of a cloud but evaporating before reaching Earth's surface. See also Fall Streaks; Streaks of rain or ice crystals that fall from a cloud but evaporate before reaching the ground. Applies to altocumulus, altostratus, and high-level cumuliform.
Water of ice particles falling from clouds but evaporating or sublimating before hitting the ground.
Rain that turns back into water vapor before reaching the ground.
light wispy precipitation that evaporates before it reaches the ground (especially when the lower air is low in humidity)
Rain which fall in the sky but evaporates before it reaches the ground
Technically, a form of precipitation. Water that falls from a cloud, but evaporates before it hits the ground.
rain falling from a cloud that evaporates before reaching the ground.
Precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground. A common occurrence in Colorado
Precipitation that falls from clouds but evaporates in dry air beneath the cloud before reaching the ground. Virga resembles streaks of water extending from the cloud.
Streaks or wisps of precipitation falling from a cloud but evaporating before reaching the ground.
A weather term describing moisture falling from clouds but not reaching the earth's surface.
Wisps or streaks of rain or snow falling out of a cloud, but evaporating before reaching the ground.
Wisps or streaks of rain falling out of a cloud but not reaching the earth's surface. When seen from a distance, these streaks can be mistaken for funnels or tornadoes.
water or ice particles falling from a cloud but evaporating before reaching the earth's surface
Water droplets or ice crystals that fall from high clouds but that evaporate before hitting the ground.
Precipitation falling from the base of a cloud and evaporating before it reaches the ground.
Whisps or streaks of precipitation falling out of a cloud which evaporates before reaching the ground.
Wisps or streaks of precipitation falling out of a cloud which evaporate before reaching the ground.
Water or ice particles falling from a cloud, usually in wisps or streaks, and evaporating completely before reaching the ground.
Streaks or wisps of precipitation, such as water or ice particles, that fall from clouds but evaporate before reaching the ground. From a distance, the event sometimes may be mistaken for a funnel cloud or tornado. Typically, it may fall from altocumulus, altostratus, or high based cumuonimbus.
