December 27th, 2025 Timelapse
December 27th began under a blanket of dense cloud cover, with the morning skies obscured by a remarkable 91.3% total cloudiness. Low clouds dominated the scene, comprising 88.0% of the coverage, while mid and high clouds contributed less significantly at 36.0% and 9.7% respectively. Winds at the surface were quite calm, averaging just 4.1 mph, but as one climbed to 100 meters, winds picked up to a brisk 8.8 mph. This difference in wind speed created a subtle turbulence, as the stronger winds aloft began to interact with the calmer surface layers, generating a slight shearing effect that made the clouds appear to shift and swirl gently across the sky. With temperatures hovering around 38.5°F, there was a hint of moisture in the air, leading to light precipitation that amounted to 0.01 inches.
As the day progressed into midday, the overall cloud cover decreased slightly to 80.5%, but low clouds remained prevalent, still accounting for 78.0% of the sky. Winds at the surface increased marginally to an average of 6.7 mph, while winds at 100 meters rose to 10.0 mph, enhancing the turbulence between the layers. The mid-level clouds began to thin out considerably, dropping to only 17.8%, while the high clouds were sparse at just 5.2%. The conflict between the surface and higher elevations created visible dynamics in the cloud formations, as they began to race across the sky, driven by those stronger winds aloft. This shift in cloud movement brought about an almost playful chase between the layers, with some clouds appearing to drift more rapidly while others lingered longer beneath them.
By evening, cloud cover had intensified once more, rising to 94.3%, with a notable increase in high clouds to 77.3%. The surface winds settled back to an average of 5.0 mph, while 100-meter winds slightly decreased to 9.6 mph, indicating a stabilization of the atmospheric conditions. The clouds, now layered and thick, created a beautiful tapestry against the twilight sky. This layering, combined with the earlier turbulence and wind shear, produced a stunning visual contrast as the lower clouds moved more slowly, almost as if they were being pushed by the remnants of stronger winds above. The temperature dipped slightly to 42.1°F, completing the evolution of a day that began under heavy cloud cover, transitioned through dynamic shifts, and ended with a rich display of layered clouds illuminated by the fading light.
