Post Frontal Rainbow
These pictures were submitted courtesy of Barb from Medina.
It was a beautiful sight last night around 7pm in many parts WNY. I cannot make out a double rainbow from these pictures, but I know a lot of people reported a double rainbow closer to the Buffalo metro.

Nice pictures.
What triggered the storms in parts of WNY to get on the rowdy side.
I know the threat was limited, so as someone who is the furthest thing from a weather expert, can someone explain to me what happened?
i saw the double rainbow in Orchard Park yesterday evening. there was quite a contrast from the sun to the very dark skies to the east causing the beautiful and full rainbow and even a less colorful 2nd rainbow.
Barrie1: A squall line was racing NE at 50mph into WNY just before 6pm. Within that squall line, there was an added wind component: a few severe t-storms with straight line, damaging wind gusts. That's how several trees/wires came down along with some structural damage in parts of Chautauqua county. There were, however, no reports of tornadoes.
Hi MB.A huge tree come down by soles rd. and knocked out power for those people for a while.Yesterday evening/why in boston did it look greenish out and also why did the clouds look like i was looking in to a fanisty worled???they looked toyish.id appreciate it if you explained me why that happend.THANKS-Adam from Hamburg.

I live in boston and i saw the green skies, i think it's with the sun angle because the clouds weren't that tall because it wasn't a real thunderstorm, more of a rain squall. the sun probably got through some clouds but not all, making a strange color. of course thats just my theory.
Afin and MarineCore3008: The reason why the sky appeared green is due to the presence of hail. Hailstones act as a sort of prism which allow only the green portion of the spectrum from the sun's rays above the storm clouds to be reflected down to the human eye.
I can't get "Rainbow in the Dark" by Dio out of my head! I missed it, and I've heard double rainbows are rare. Argh!
