Incredible Blue Banding Spotted in Texas Storm
A recent storm offered a rare sight on the plains near Clarendon, Texas. Bright blue bands circling a large thunderstorm cell were visible. The phenomenon, known as blue banding, is caused by the scattering of sunlight by ice crystals and water droplets high in a thunderstorm’s anvil cloud. When this scattering occurs during what photographers call the “golden hour,” just after sunrise or just before sunset, it can enhance the visibility of these blue hues, turning the sky into the cool scene you can check out in the video at the bottom of this article.
