April 11th, 2026 Timelapse
On April 11th, the day began with a blanket of clouds that enveloped the sky, leaving little room for sunshine to sneak through. Surface winds were calm at an average of 2.3 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters were slightly stronger at 3.3 mph. This gentle breeze contributed to the movement of the extensive cloud cover, which was remarkably dense at 100% coverage. Low clouds dominated at 92.8%, with mid-level clouds completely filling the sky at 100%. High clouds were less prominent, resting at 47.5%. As the morning progressed, light rain began to fall, accumulating 0.11 inches, which was likely facilitated by the moist air trapped beneath the thick cloud layers. The consistent and gentle surface winds meant that any turbulence was minimal, yet there was a slight conflict between the low-level winds and those aloft, contributing to the dynamic cloud formations observed.
As the day moved into midday, the weather conditions evolved subtly but noticeably. Surface winds increased slightly, averaging 3.4 mph, while winds at 100 meters picked up to 4.5 mph. This change in wind dynamics allowed for the cloud cover to begin shifting; the overall cloudiness lessened to 92.5%, with a notable drop in mid-level clouds to 68%. The high clouds, however, increased to 58.5%, creating layers that floated above the thicker low clouds, which were still prevalent at 90.8%. This layering effect, combined with the conflicting wind directions—surface winds shifting slightly while the upper layer winds continued to gain speed—created a beautiful tapestry of clouds racing across the sky at different rates. The slight increase in temperature to an average of 52.8°F and the ongoing drizzle, amounting to an additional 0.04 inches, reflected the transition into a more dynamic midday atmosphere.
By the evening, the weather had shifted again, bringing a subtle but noticeable change to the sky. Surface winds averaged 3.1 mph, while the winds at 100 meters picked up to 5.1 mph, indicating a continued upward trend in wind strength aloft. The overall cloud cover decreased to 85%, with a significant drop in low clouds to 31.5% and mid clouds to 21.7%, while high clouds rose to 67.5%. This shift allowed for some glimpses of blue sky to appear, creating a striking contrast with the remaining cloud layers. The layered effect of the clouds became more pronounced as twilight approached, with the differing wind speeds creating an interesting atmosphere of turbulence that danced through the higher altitudes. As the temperature reached a pleasant 57.1°F, only a trace of precipitation remained, totaling just 0.01 inches for the evening, marking a gentle conclusion to a day characterized by evolving cloud patterns and shifting winds.
