What this forecast looks for

Plain-language explanation from the rule

Fire Sky predicts those rare, intensely red and orange sunset skies:

  • Red Sky Potential: Based on atmospheric conditions and cloud coverage
  • Cloud Position: Mid-level clouds at the right angle catch the most color
  • Visibility: Clear enough horizon for the light to travel through
  • Solar Angle: The low sun angle that creates red wavelength dominance

These dramatic skies are relatively rare but unforgettable when they occur.
