Top 5 Weather Phenomena Worth Pulling the Car Over For

Sky events that justify hazard lights, a gravel shoulder, and a passenger asking what on earth you're doing.

1. 1

   Aurora Borealis

   Photos always oversell the color, and in person it doesn't matter, because the sky slowly moving like a curtain is the real show.

2. 2

   Mammatus Clouds

   They look like the sky grew bubble wrap, and they usually show up after a storm, so you get the drama without the danger.

3. 3

   Sun Dogs

   Two fake suns on either side of the real one on a freezing morning, and almost nobody else on the road seems to notice them.

4. 4

   The Green Flash

   It lasts about two seconds over a clean ocean horizon, so half the fun is everyone arguing about whether they actually saw it.

5. 5

   Fogbow

   A ghostly white rainbow with no color in it, which sounds like a letdown until it shows up over a foggy field at dawn.
