VIEWFINDER: No Rain, No Rainbows

Despite the stormy weather Tuesday, the likelihood of showers along with partial sunshine means the possibility of a well-loved weather phenomenon increases: It's rainbow time!

According to the National Weather Service, you need three main ingredients to get a rainbow:

• You need to be standing with the sun to your back and the rain in front of you.
• The sun needs to be less than 42^o above the horizon.
• The sun's rays must be hitting the raindrops to create the rainbow.

Here is the forecast for the next several days, according to the National Weather Service:
