The video still above comes courtesy of Scott Martin, who captured dramatic footage of a rain shaft near Dalhart, Texas (north of Amarillo) during a storm chase. The rain he encountered was accompanied by pea-sized hail. Thanks Scott for the amazing photo!

My colleague here at WGN-TV Craig Nowack, captured this fascinating shot during a family visit to the Mississippi River on Saturday, June 11. In it, a towering cumulus cloud interacts with the setting sun and casts a shadow on the high and mid-level clouds in the foreground.
