The sun rising in the east illuminated the clouds from the approaching storm to the west. Weather systems tend to move west to east in this part of the world.
It works the opposite at night if there is a red sky. As the sun sets in the west, it illuminates the clouds associated with storm departing east.
Red sky at night, sailors delight.
