December 24th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 24th, morning began with a thick blanket of clouds covering the sky, leading to a completely overcast scene. The surface winds were gentle, averaging around 8.9 mph, while at 100 meters above ground, winds picked up considerably, averaging 18.2 mph. This notable difference in wind speed created a layer of turbulence, as the faster winds aloft met the slower surface winds. The cloud cover was significant, with low clouds constituting 52% of the coverage, mid-level clouds at 94%, and high clouds at 87.7%. This heavy cloud mass brought light precipitation of 0.02 inches, adding to the dampness of the chilly morning air, which hovered around an average of 43.3°F.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to shift noticeably. The surface winds increased slightly to an average of 9.3 mph, while the winds at 100 meters decreased to 14.4 mph, which reduced the turbulence between the layers somewhat. The clouds also underwent a transformation; the overall cloud cover dropped significantly to 52%. Low clouds remained prominent at 43.2%, but mid-level clouds decreased to 24.8% and high clouds diminished to just 12.5%. This clearing allowed patches of blue sky to peek through, creating a dynamic backdrop as the winds at various altitudes continued to influence how the clouds moved. The wind shear, though less pronounced than in the morning, still contributed to a shifting cloudscape as layers drifted in different directions.
In the evening, the atmosphere settled into a calmer state. Surface winds dropped to a gentle 1.9 mph, while winds aloft were measured at just 5.0 mph, further diminishing the turbulence and creating a serene end to the day. Cloud cover continued to decrease, resting at 30.7% by evening. Low clouds shrank to 22.7%, and mid-level clouds fell to 17.7%, while high clouds nearly cleared out entirely at just 0.3%. The temperature slightly cooled to an average of 45.8°F, providing a crispness to the air as the sun began to set. The layered effects in the sky, now less tumultuous, showcased a gradual transition into nighttime, with the softer cloud formations drifting lazily across the horizon, marking the end of a day that began with such intensity.
