January 15th, 2026 Timelapse
January 15th began under a thick shroud of low cloud cover, enveloping the region with nearly 100% cloudiness. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging around 5.6 mph, which created a stillness that contrasted with the brisker winds aloft. The air at 100 meters showed winds averaging 11.2 mph, indicating a notable difference between the two layers, leading to some turbulence as the stronger winds interacted with the slower-moving surface breeze. The temperature hovered at a cool 43.2°F, and with no precipitation reported, it was a relatively dry morning, although the dense low clouds hinted at a potentially wet day ahead. These clouds, low and uniform, contributed to the muted light, casting a gray tone across the landscape and giving the impression of a somber winter day.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to evolve. The surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 7.2 mph, while the winds aloft at 100 meters decreased to an average of 10.3 mph, indicating a subtle shift in dynamics. The cloud cover also transformed, with the thick low layer thinning to about 60.2%. This reduction in cloud density allowed for glimpses of the sky beyond, though the low clouds remained persistent and continued to race across the horizon due to the stronger winds aloft. With the continued influence of the upper layer, the cloud movement appeared brisk, creating a striking visual as they darted overhead. The temperature warmed to an average of 48.4°F, further enhancing the impression of a changing day, but still, no precipitation fell, allowing for a brief respite from the winter chill.
As evening approached, the weather took a stark turn towards clarity. The surface winds eased to an average of 4.7 mph, becoming even calmer, while the winds at 100 meters settled at 9.7 mph. Remarkably, the thick low cloud cover had diminished to just 1.0%, revealing an expansive canvas of sky that had previously been obscured. This transition from a heavily clouded morning to an almost completely clear evening showcased the effects of decreasing turbulence as the wind profiles aligned more closely. The evening air cooled slightly, averaging 47.6°F, solidifying the day's trend towards a calmer finish. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the gentle winds and clear skies offered a beautiful conclusion to the day, highlighting the interplay of atmospheric forces that had shaped the evolving weather patterns throughout January 15th.
