Description:
Another red hot dawn in central Florida holds some hope of cool splashes for SeaReys. It is possible, however that the devilish red, spiked with lingering storms from the night, portends the potential for disaster. We shall see.
'Damn the disasters! Give me flying speed, Mr. Rotax!'

Nice shot, Dan. Does 'Red sky in morning, / Sailor take warning' work in Florida?

Don,<br /><br />My wife asked me that very question this morning. In my experience, it generally works the opposite in the northern hemisphere as weather generally moves east. If you have a red sky at night, you're prolly gonna get wet soon.<br /><br />That said, there are always exceptions. Hurricanes come to mind, since they tend to move to the west. In Central Florida, we get sea breezes from both directions, which cause heavy convective activity in the middle of the state. They even have a name for it... Peninsular Convectivity.

Who could argue with the bard? 'Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.” Venus and Adonis, Shakespeare.<br /><br />In addition to moisture, red skies at night can be associated with dust in a high pressure area of fair weather as it moves in from the west. Seeing it in the morning means it may have already past through and stormy weather will follow. In Florida, that is a typical winter pattern.<br /><br />As Jim points out, during the summer sea breezes often collide producing weather from any direction over the pennisula depending on the relative strength of the winds.<br /><br />For Christians, you can look to the bible for an answer. According to Matthew 16: 2-3, Jesus said, “When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.” Signs may be different for the wicked and adulturous.<br /><br />So, the answer to your question could depend on your philisophical position. All I can say in answer is, 'Yes. Sometimes. Maybe. Not really.' The diamond was lost, but it was later found.
