These old weather sayings are quite accurate as far as I’m concerned. The weather forecasters today don’t seem to get it right even when it’s right on top of them.

sooo…to rephrase….pink sky at night means wind for the sailors next day?, which is a good thing.
…pink sky in morning means calm (squalls) or stormy weather?
thanks

Back in 1994 when I was at a military school for my MOS; I would look out at the morning sky to see if I needed to take a rain coat; well let me tell you it works. I would have my rain coat everyone would ask why I had it? I would say it is going to rain. They would laugh and say no it’s not. But they quickly learned that if I had a rain coat or not; they may want to fallow my lead.

What I didn’t know until recently, was, that is acutally in the Bible!!! How cool!!! Matthew 16:2-3, reads, “You know the saying, “Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow, red sky in the morning means foul weather all day, “you are good at reading the weather signs in the sky, but you can’t read the obvious signs of the times!………. there is more, if you want to look it up, but how cool, that saying dates back to the Bible!!!

The only times we have had “yellowish green” skies here in Mo is when we about about to get slammed with a bad storm, especially hail.

Like AnnaMom, I am very curious about the green sky. I have only seen it really a dramatic green one time several years ago when a tropical storm system stalled out over the panhandle of Florida. It was not bringing rain at that point, but the spirals of clouds over the Gulf were incredible and the sky was green.

Because it’s happened more often than not, I do believe that a very red sunrise is a sign of weather that will be worse than it was yesterday. Here’s a sky color phenomenon I’ve always been curious about: During severe thunderstorms, especially ones with really bad winds, hail, or tornadoes, the sky often seems to turn green. I wonder what is up with the green sky at those times.
