November 17th, 2025 Timelapse
On November 17th, the day began under an expansive blanket of clouds, with a striking 100% cloud cover dominating the sky. Morning temperatures hovered around a cool 46.4°F, while surface winds remained gentle at an average of 5.5 mph. However, the winds aloft at 100 meters were considerably stronger, averaging 10.0 mph, creating a notable contrast with surface conditions. This difference in wind speeds contributed to a slight turbulence as the clouds, primarily mid-level, drifted slowly across the sky, with lower clouds contributing 13.5% to the thick overcast. Precipitation was minimal, with only 0.01 inches recorded, hinting at a reluctant drizzle rather than a steady rain. The interaction between the slower surface winds and faster winds above likely contributed to a gentle sway in the cloud layers, adding a dynamic quality to the otherwise stagnant morning atmosphere.
As the day progressed toward midday, the cloud cover began to thin, dropping to an average of 53.5% as mid-level clouds receded. Surface winds picked up slightly to 5.8 mph, while winds at 100 meters decreased to 8.7 mph, suggesting a gradual stabilization of conditions. Low clouds saw an increase in presence, making up 17.2% of the total cloud cover, while high clouds dispersed almost entirely. This shift in cloud dynamics was visually intriguing as the mid clouds, now only 44.0% present, appeared to shift and swirl, influenced by the winds above that were still stronger than those at the surface. The differing wind directions at various altitudes created a delicate balance, resulting in mild wind shear that added texture and motion to the clouds. The atmosphere remained unsettled enough to keep light rain in the forecast, with an additional 0.01 inches of precipitation noted.
By evening, the weather exhibited a notable transformation, with cloud cover drastically dropping to an average of only 8.7%. The surface winds increased slightly to 6.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters picked up to 12.1 mph, presenting a more pronounced contrast between the two altitudes. This disparity in wind speeds resulted in defined shear characteristics that shaped the remaining high clouds, which had virtually vanished, leaving a clearer sky. The overall temperature slightly declined to around 48.6°F, as the day transitioned into night, with the earlier drizzles tapering off in the face of diminishing cloud layers. The final atmospheric conditions painted a tranquil picture, with the remnants of cloud activity giving way to a serene and unobstructed sky, allowing the evening’s fading light to create a soft glow across the landscape.
