The sky around Sioux Falls before the severe weather was green. And not a light green — the green that you could imagine would be the color of the sky before aliens arrive in a Michael Bay movie. Or before the Wicked Witch of the West threatens Dorothy and her little dog, too.
Weather watchers around Sioux Falls took to Twitter to share photos of the creepy and ominous sky, while we took to the internet to try and find out what this green sky means.
Green skies often come with severe weather, however that does not mean it’s a tornado specifically as there isn’t a direct correlation between the two, according to AccuWeather.
It’s not completely decided why green skies occur, the Scientific American reports. However, if a thunderstorm occurs during a time of red light, like a sunset, the water particles in the air can make it appear as if the sky is slightly green in color, some researchers say. The gray cloud of a thunderstorm, water particles that bend red light to appear blue and ample red light in the sky can create the perfect storm for a green sky.
