West Seattle Weather Watch: Rainbow sightings

Thanks to everyone who has shared photos of the rainbow sightings to the north a short time ago – Stacy sent the double rainbow from Seacrest, and we’ll add others shortly. As mentioned in our morning preview, the forecast says thunderstorms with ice pellets are possible. (But een as we write that – some blue sky is headed this way along with more clouds …)

ADDED 3:42 PM: More rainbow photos! (Plus, a final batch added in early evening, from the ones tweeted to us…)

First, from Steve near 44th and Charlestown:

From Amanda:

And an Alki panorama from Chad:

AND FINALLY, ADDED 7:11 PM: From Patty, downtown:

Andrew, in the High Point area, says this shows the supernumerary – there are actually THREE rainbows in this photo:

I hope where the rainbow ends bodes well for the Mariners next year!

This was actually a triple since there was a supernumerary rainbow on the inside of the primary arc. I took a picture of that supernumerary.

Watchdog:

would it be possible to appear to drive through or into a Supernumerary rainbow? One of my coworkers claims she did. I always thought the main bow was at 104.5 degs off the anti-sun, the secondary maybe at 130…I know there is a thing called google but you seem to know your bows…Irish perhaps? :-)
