December 28th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 28th, the day began under a thick blanket of low clouds, with cloud cover reaching 100% across the sky. At the surface, winds were calm, averaging just 1.4 mph, which contributed to the stillness of the morning air. Aloft, at 100 meters, winds picked up slightly to an average of 2.2 mph, but these gentle breezes did little to disturb the pervasive cloudiness. The clouds were predominantly low, leading to a gray and overcast atmosphere, although some high clouds floated above at 50.3%, hinting at possible movement later in the day. The temperature hovered around a chilly 31.9°F, reinforcing the wintry feel of the morning. The lack of significant wind shear allowed for a stable atmosphere, though the conflict between the very light surface winds and slightly stronger upper winds hinted at potential turbulence as conditions evolved.
As midday approached, the weather took on a slightly more dynamic character. Surface winds increased to an average of 2.2 mph while winds aloft at 100 meters rose to 2.7 mph. Although cloud cover remained nearly total at 99.8%, the composition of those clouds began to shift; low cloud coverage dropped to 45.8%, while high clouds surged to 92%, creating a layered effect that transformed the sky's appearance. This shift in cloud dynamics could be attributed to the subtle changes in wind direction, which stirred the clouds into a gentle dance. The brisker winds aloft began to push some of the high clouds faster across the sky, creating an ethereal quality as they streamed by against the backdrop of the slower-moving low clouds. Despite these changes, the day remained dry with no precipitation recorded, underscoring the somewhat stagnant nature of the lower atmosphere.
By the evening, conditions began to settle into a familiar pattern. Surface winds averaged slightly higher at 1.8 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 4.5 mph, establishing a clearer distinction between the surface and aloft winds. The cloud cover, now at 93.3%, showed a significant decrease in low clouds to 3.7%, while high clouds remained robust at 93.3%. Mid-level clouds emerged, comprising 33.3% of the sky, adding further depth to the cloud layers. The evening sky was painted with a contrast of light and shadow as the high clouds continued to race ahead of the lighter winds below, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The lingering turbulence from earlier in the day became less pronounced, allowing the clouds to settle into a more stratified appearance without the chaotic swirling patterns that had characterized earlier hours. Overall, December 28th concluded with a tranquil yet layered sky, reflecting the subtle complexities of the weather that unfolded throughout the day.
