The remnants of the first named storm of the hurricane season, Alberto, passed to our west on Tuesday, bringing periodic showers. We had already had a lot of rain a few days ago that was not associated with the storm, but with the tropical air mass we have had for some time.

Tuesday evening, there were small, isolated showers passing all around us. We looked out the front door and saw rain falling over town, plus a rainbow. The rainbow dissipated as the shower moved to the north, but it was followed by another shower, and another rainbow. This is a series of images I took as the showers and rainbows paraded by over town.

The rain was falling in bands, so the rainbows themselves were banded.

Although the weather forecasters expected a lot of rain from the storm, we got very little. Fortunately, with the earlier, heavy rain from a few days ago, we have pretty much caught up on precipitation for a while. I have been trying to prepare the furthest reaches of our front yard for planting grass. Now the ground will be far too muddy to work for several days. That’s OK, because I need to do some more work in the house anyway.
