If it was in the morning then either rain or snow later in the day. If it was at night clear skies the next day.

Remember the old rhyme about weather.

Red sky in morning, sailor take warning.
Red sky at night, sailor's delight.

It means that blue is hiding. :)

It has something to do with the way that the different colors on the spectrum are refracting or reflecting (whichever) on the particles of water and such in the atmosphere.


:D

If you asked the question, we already KNOW you want to know what it means, don't repeat it in another post. You've made it quite clear that you want to know what it means the first time.

It's a pet peeve, for most of us here.
It's not an IM site, it's a MESSAGE board, which means it can take time for responses, simmer down Susie-Q.
