January 19th, 2026 Timelapse
On January 19th, morning conditions began with a calm atmosphere across the region. Surface winds, averaging around 3.9 mph from the west, were significantly weaker than the winds at 100m, which reached an average of 10.0 mph. This disparity created a gentle atmosphere at the surface while allowing for some motion in the higher altitudes. Cloud cover was present at about 35.3%, predominantly consisting of low clouds, which hung low in the sky but showed no signs of mid or high cloud layers. The temperature hovered around 33.9°F, and as the morning unfolded, the winds at 100m propelled these low clouds steadily across the sky, though the light surface winds led to a rather tranquil scene below. With no precipitation reported, the morning remained dry, but the marked difference in wind speed at various altitudes hinted at the potential for turbulence should atmospheric conditions shift.
As the day progressed into midday, a notable transformation occurred. The surface winds decreased slightly to an average of 3.3 mph, while the winds at 100m dropped to 5.3 mph, reducing the vertical wind shear considerably. By this time, the cloud cover diminished dramatically to just 7.8%, with low clouds almost disappearing entirely. The relatively stable wind conditions at both the surface and aloft allowed for minimal turbulence, leading to an unusually still atmosphere. The sun began to penetrate more directly, raising the temperature to a comfortable average of 47.3°F. With the clouds largely cleared away, the sky opened up, showcasing a vast expanse of blue, contrasting with the remnants of cold, moist air that had previously been present. The gentle winds aloft continued to provide a subtle movement in the skies, but with the absence of significant cloud cover, the visual dynamics transformed into a serene canvas.
In the evening, the conditions took on a different character as the day transitioned to nightfall. Surface winds further calmed to an average of 2.5 mph, while the winds at 100m increased slightly to 6.6 mph. Cloud cover was now a mere 2.0%, consisting of a few high clouds that drifted lazily across the sky. The temperature began to drop, averaging around 44.4°F, reflecting the cooling trend typical of evening hours. The overall lack of significant cloud formations made for a peaceful sky, marked by a few wispy clouds that seemed to float effortlessly in the gentle breeze above. The minimal wind shear and lighter winds contributed to a tranquil atmosphere, creating a serene end to the day as the last light faded. Overall, January 19th showcased a gentle evolution from a cloud-laden morning to a clear midday, culminating in a calm and quiet evening.
