Tonight's #3 sunset in the US: Cape Hatteras National Seashore, NC, 90/100. Worth 90m+ Drive · High-Canopy Burner.
97% cloud cover, but the western horizon is open, so the sun can underlight the deck as it drops. Sunset 4:58p ET, golden hour from 4:22p ET.
Backglow: the high deck at 69° ENE should burn warm over the Atlantic. Shoot west across Pamlico Sound, then turn east for the dunes and surf.
