March 6th, 2026 Timelapse
On March 6th, the day began under the heavy embrace of clouds, with the sky completely shrouded in a thick blanket of overcast covering 100 percent. Surface winds were gentle, averaging around 6.2 mph, while winds at 100m were noticeably stronger at 11.5 mph, creating a pronounced difference that hinted at turbulence. The low clouds were particularly dense and persistent, affecting visibility and contributing to the dreary atmosphere. With an average temperature of 43.1°F and light precipitation amounting to 0.06 inches, the morning felt quite damp. The conflicting wind patterns, with stronger winds aloft compared to the calmer surface, led to a slight turbulence that stirred the clouds, although they remained largely stationary, enveloped in gray.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions saw only minor changes in temperature, rising to a pleasant average of 45.5°F. The wind at the surface increased slightly to an average of 7.3 mph, while the winds at 100m strengthened a bit more to 12.3 mph. The clouds remained unwaveringly thick, with all layers, including low, mid, and high clouds, maintaining full coverage. The consistent wind patterns aloft continued to push the clouds, creating slight movements and ripples within the layers. While the lower clouds tended to cling tightly to the surface, the mid and high clouds displayed a more dynamic character, briefly shifting and swirling in response to the wind shear. The precipitation rate slowed, yielding an additional 0.03 inches, contributing to the day's overall total.
In the evening, the weather maintained its overcast nature with temperatures climbing slightly to an average of 46.3°F. Surface winds averaged around 6.5 mph, showing little change compared to earlier in the day, while aloft winds at 100m remained stable at 12.2 mph. The persistent cloud cover kept the sky uniformly gray, with turbulent interactions continuing to shape the clouds as the day closed. The layered effects were evident, with low clouds remaining dense and low to the ground, while mid and high clouds drifted in subtle patterns, revealing the influence of the stronger winds above. With a final total of 0.02 inches of precipitation, the day concluded under a still overcast sky, encapsulating the essence of a typical, damp Pacific Northwest winter day, marked by a gentle interplay of wind and cloud dynamics.
