The clouds were departing quickly this morning on the heels of the windy front that flew through the Raleigh area last night... still too dense to see the sun at sunrise proper, above, but the glow was visible at the horizon (better large on black). The last few clouds were on their way out when the sun finally made its appearance, below (also better LOB). Sweet... and very windy!

Sunrise 130129
A flow of moist air from the gulf brought summer-like skies... with a dense filtering haze at the horizon... to the Raleigh area this morning, seen above at sunrise proper (better large on black). The early twilight view, below, offered a colorful and satisfying glow at the horizon (also better LOB). With temps expected into the 70s, it may as well be summer. Sweet sunrise views!

Sunrise 130125
In advance of our wintery mix, the Raleigh area was treated to a bona fide flamer during mid-twilight (better large on black). Never saw the sun, but we didn't really miss it, either! Sweet show!
Sunrise 130124
Although the Raleigh area never saw the sun during the sunrise hour, there was plenty of color in the sky, making for an interesting view, seen here during late twilight (and better large on black). Sweet!
Sunrise 130123
Cloudless skies greeted the Raleigh area this morning, seen here at sunrise proper (and better large on black)... simple and sweet!
Sunrise 130120
Just a few clouds in the Raleigh area sky this morning (better large on black)... the first we've seen in a few days, and it was nice... and sweet!

Thanks to an advancing cold front and its variety of cloud types and layers, the Raleigh area was treated to this interesting and colorful view during late twilight (better large on black). Sweet!
Sunrise 130114
The advancing cold front brought a nice mix of cloud types and levels to the Raleigh area today, and provided this interesting and colorful late twilight view (better ). Sweet!

Sunrise 130110
Just about the perfect amount of cloud cover this morning in the Raleigh area... providing a very satisfying view at sunrise proper, above (better large on black), and, 20 minutes earlier, an equally colorful view during mid-twilight, below (also better LOB). Sweet sunrise event!

Sunrise 130108
After a few very overcast mornings and a pair of cloud-free plain-Janes, the Raleigh area enjoyed its first "interesting" sunrise of the new year (one man's opinion, of course)... seen here in a decidedly urban view, from behind Starbucks in Cameron Village (and better large on black). The tighter view, below (again, better LOB), shows the sun is still coming up right behind the new SECU building... big fire behind, big tower crane in front. Sweet views... and a belated Happy New Year to all!
