November 18th, 2025 Timelapse
On November 18th, the day began under a nearly uniform blanket of clouds, with an average cloud cover reaching an impressive 99.8%. The air felt crisp at a cool 43.3°F, as the surface winds were gentle, averaging only 1.6 mph. However, at 100 meters above ground, winds picked up slightly to an average of 2.7 mph, which was enough to create some subtle movement in the dense cloud layers. The low clouds hovered at 27.2%, while the mid-level clouds made up a substantial 83.8% of the sky, and high clouds constituted 57.0%. This multilayered cloud structure was a fascinating sight, with the low and mid clouds moving slowly, influenced by the light surface winds, while the higher clouds drifted with a different rhythm, occasionally adding depth and texture to the overcast sky. A light drizzle of 0.01 inches began to fall, hinting at the moisture in the atmosphere.
As midday approached, the situation evolved noticeably. The surface winds increased slightly to an average of 2.6 mph, while winds at 100 meters gained strength, reaching 3.5 mph. This increase in wind speed contributed to a significant reduction in cloud cover to 64%, with low clouds rising to 53.0% and mid clouds decreasing to 26.8%. The high clouds all but vanished. This dynamic shift in cloud cover was visually striking, as the thinning mid clouds allowed patches of blue sky to peek through, creating a dance of light and shadow across the landscape. Wind shear became apparent, especially at higher altitudes, where the 100-meter winds shifted direction slightly from the surface winds, leading to some turbulence that caused the mid-level clouds to scatter and swirl dramatically, presenting a captivating aerial show.
By the evening, conditions began to shift again. The surface winds picked up to an average of 3.6 mph, while the winds at 100 meters saw a more substantial increase, averaging 7.1 mph. The cloud cover rebounded to an average of 91%, with low clouds dominating at 90.3% and mid clouds still prevalent at 60.7%. The absence of high clouds created a more uniform layer that added to the sense of enclosure in the sky. This evening tableau was marked by the turbulent interactions between the stronger winds aloft and the persistent low clouds, resulting in billowing shapes and textured patterns that rolled across the horizon. The temperature remained steady at 48.3°F, and the day wrapped up with a sense of atmospheric drama, showcasing how the interplay of wind and cloud cover can create an ever-changing spectacle overhead.
