Is the following sentence technically true or false?

The sun will rise tomorrow morning.

In the accelerating frame of reference of the earth's inhabitants, yes, the sun will rise tomorrow morning (at the date of this posting, no region of the earth is currently experiencing 24 hours of darkness, so the sun will rise, barring a cosmic catastrophe). However, from several other frames of reference throughout space, the sun will not rise, although the earth will continue to spin on its axis. "Technically true or false" is still dependent on one's perspective, and either of the perspectives mentioned above are arguably valid.
