January 14th, 2026 Timelapse
On January 14th, the day began under a blanket of low clouds, completely shrouding the sky with an impressive 100% cloud cover. Surface winds were gentle, averaging just 2.3 mph, and this matched the winds at 100 meters, indicating a stable atmosphere without much vertical mixing. The temperature lingered around a cool 43.0°F, contributing to a rather damp feeling in the air. The low clouds, dense and low-hanging, created a uniform gray canvas, and given the lack of mid-level or high clouds, the scene was characterized by a feeling of stillness, with no precipitation reported in the early hours. The gentle winds at the surface did not stir much movement in the clouds, resulting in a serene yet somewhat heavy atmosphere, with little turbulence noted thanks to the consistent flow.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions shifted slightly, but the uniformity of the cloud cover persisted, dipping slightly to 90.2%. Surface winds increased marginally to 2.5 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters picked up to an average of 3.2 mph. This subtle change in wind speed at different altitudes suggested a gentle increase in mixing. Despite the overall stability, the low clouds continued to dominate the sky without mid or high clouds to provide any layering effect. The continued low cloud cover gave the impression of a heavy ceiling, and despite the lack of precipitation, the atmosphere still felt saturated. The low level winds remained relatively calm, which limited turbulence, but the slightly stronger winds at altitude hinted at some potential for layered cloud dynamics, though none materialized.
By evening, the cloud cover decreased further to 61.7%, allowing more ambient light to filter through as the sun began its descent. Surface winds tapered down to an average of 1.9 mph, while winds at 100 meters picked up again, averaging 4.6 mph. This change in wind patterns resulted in a noticeable difference in cloud movement; the low clouds began to shift and break apart slightly, revealing patches of lighter sky. The temperature crept up to 47.9°F, providing a mild close to the day, but the layered effects and mixing remained muted due to the slow surface winds. The gentle evening conditions created a tranquil atmosphere, yet the stronger winds aloft still hinted at potential turbulence, which could have caused some interesting shifts in the remaining clouds. Overall, January 14th unfolded as a day defined by its low cloud cover and gentle winds, with a slight evolution towards more dynamic conditions as evening approached.
