Orangeish Sky

[Scott_inVA]

Everything outside is orange, again! Every time a hurricane is near this happens. Does anyone know why?

Cirrus outflow along the periphery of the hurricane.
If you're willing to get up at sunrise Sunday, should be a nice show.

Often, where I grew up, the sky would take on a weird green-grey cast, and it would start to get really surprisingly dark, just before a major tornado put down.

These are not weather myths, but facts of nature. I have no idea what the connection is between the skies and the weather, but there is something there, there.

red sy at night= high pressure to the west. redsky at morning= low pressue to the east. the upper level of the atmosphere is a high pressure to your east and west if a strom is aproaching. hurricanes are surface low pressure and a upper level high.its kinda backwards when a hurricane is aproaching from the east.

I can't tell...those dang storm panels obscure the view.

I posted a page with the picture I took of Irene (along with a few other sunset pics I have taken). It's the first image on the page. The picture really didn't do it justice, though. It was beautiful. Click on it for a bigger view.

While I was at my parents' home in east central Mississippi, some 250 miles north of where Ivan had hit, we were having breakfast that Thursday morning and waiting for the west side of Ivan to come by and hit us with rain and tropical storm force wind. When I looked out across the patio at the grayed wooden fence across the yard, it had taken on a distinct rose color.

Nature is a wonder sometimes. I remember the sky and everything around would take on a sickly yellow tinge just before tornado weather came through up at my parents' place, too.
