December 26th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 26th, the morning began under a significant blanket of cloud cover, with low clouds dominating the sky at 65 percent and mid-level clouds filling in at 82.3 percent. The temperature hovered around a chilly 37.5°F, complemented by light precipitation that accumulated to 0.15 inches. Surface winds were gentle, averaging 4.3 mph, while winds at 100 meters showed a notable increase to 8.7 mph. This difference in wind speeds created a layer of turbulence, as the stronger winds aloft nudged the cloud base, causing the low clouds to shift and billow softly across the sky. The overall effect was a heavy, gray atmosphere, as the wind patterns at the surface struggled against the more powerful currents above, resulting in a rather stagnant feel.
As the day progressed into midday, the weather system intensified. The surface wind picked up slightly to an average of 6.9 mph while winds at 100 meters escalated to 12.9 mph, continuing to demonstrate a significant disparity. The cloud cover grew even denser, with low clouds now encompassing a staggering 96 percent. This thickening layer of clouds was not just a static presence; they moved swiftly, as the upper winds influenced their dynamics, causing a dramatic overcast effect. Despite the heaviness overhead, only a delicate drizzle fell, adding an additional 0.09 inches to the day’s total precipitation. The turbulence remained apparent, with an interplay of wind shear between the layers creating pockets of disturbed air, influencing how the clouds swirled and shifted, giving the appearance of a sky in constant motion.
By evening, the weather began to show signs of transition as the clouds thinned somewhat, revealing 60.3 percent coverage overall. The low clouds receded to 30 percent, while mid-level clouds settled at 56 percent, allowing a hint of light to filter through as the sun dipped lower in the sky. The surface winds remained steady at 6.8 mph while those aloft reached a peak of 13.4 mph, maintaining the established turbulence throughout the day. This mixing of wind speeds resulted in a layered sky where the clouds appeared to dance, interacting with the changing light. By the time twilight approached, precipitation ceased, leaving a sense of calm after a day filled with dynamic weather patterns, showcasing both the relentless power of the wind and the artistry of the ever-changing cloud formations.
