What causes rain storms to disappear off the weather radar?

206 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I’m avoiding having to walk in the rain and I’m watching Wunderground and the rain cloud traveling from north to south over me seems to disappear from the system right south of me as I’m waiting for it to stop raining.

It looks like the rain is just traveling right over me and then poof. What’s happening?

A lot of the cloud is falling out of the sky and landing on the ground so the cloud doesn’t show up so well on radar.
