Episode Synopsis

One more time...Red sky at night, sailors' delight?
With profound apologies to listeners who heard the wrong show yesterday, I apologize for my "operator error."
So, once more with feeling, here is the show that should have aired yesterday (with updated ship traffic and weather).
Today we take a look, thanks to a listener question, at an old nautical saying that goes, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning."
Is it true? Can we really predict the weather from colors in the sky? Well. to a degree, yes. We'll take a look today at the science behind red sunsets and sunrises.
