Sometimes the sky can even turn green.
Some experts think that before a thunderstorm golden reddish light from a sun low in the sky and a natural bluing effect of the air combine to create a green sky. If this explanation is confusing bachmeier offers some alternative folk wisdom for the color change. There is no sickening color there might be a green tint to the sky caused by the refraction of light off of hail which is common in the the large storms that can spawn tornadoes. Tornadoes forming later in the day around sunset do a great job of reflecting the green part of the light spectrum that s usually hidden in a sunset because of the water droplets in the clouds.
That tornadoes sucked frogs and grasshoppers into the sky. Tornadoes mainly happen in severe thunderstorms so sometimes there can be hail. In fact it s possible according to gallagher that all thunderstorms have some greenish tint at some time in their life. Green does indicate that the cloud is extremely tall and since thunderclouds are the tallest clouds green is a warning sign that large hail or a tornado may be present.
Now remember that the strongest storms tend to happen late in the day. Namely smaller larger drops lead to a blue green yellow green sky. The storm provides a dark backdrop and offsets this greenish or yellowish hue. During a tornado or before the wind picks up and the sky may get very dark.
