I saw that too! It was beautiful, I had never seen that before. What causes it?

I’m in SLO and could see a crescent thru the clouds around 11pm. KSBY’s facebook page has a couple of local area shots of it.

Hi Dale,
I saw it too. I think it really is a sort of shadow. There were waves of rain that never made it to the ground. Pretty neat against the lightning. Beautiful night!

I saw the same scene minus the rays. I have seen the dark rays before but I have no idea what they are.

Saw the most amazing weather scenes tonight. At Morro Bay, about 6:40pm. Fog covered the bottom half of the rock. Some misty blue sky above it. Sun was setting behind the fog, shining through a bit. Looking the other direction (north & slightly east) there was a very broad rainbow above the hills & against some clouds, and then right next to it a snake lightning appeared. Wow! Then, looking back toward the rock but higher in the sky, there were rays coming off a cloud, in our direction, i.e., on our side of the cloud, and seemingly slanting upward from it. And the rays were not like the usual rays of light, but rays of NON-light, or maybe of shadow. They looked like eraser marks that made the misty blue sky look clearer blue in these slashes of eraser marks. Several lined up against each other, with different lengths. Never saw anything like that before. We were amazed & transfixed. Did anybody else notice all this on this Saturday evening? What were those rays? Some kind of extended shadows of the sun shining up through those clouds? Is this more common than we were aware of? Would love to hear any comments, conjectures, or explanations.

Did the heat melt the SLOWeather cam?
