We had a beautiful sunrise this morning, one worth setting the coffee cup down and running outside with the camera.

Is rain on the way?

Red Sky at Morning — Rain is on the Way

The sunrise was breathtaking this morning.

With a little research at the Library of Congress, I discovered a bit more on the adage, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”. 

A red sunrise reflects the dust particles of a system that has just passed from the west. This indicates that a storm system may be moving to the east. If the morning sky is a deep fiery red, it means a high water content in the atmosphere. So, rain is on its way.

Interestingly enough, we are looking at a cloudy day, with rain tomorrow.
