April 12th, 2026 Timelapse
On April 12th, the day began with a thick blanket of clouds, enveloping the region in a uniform overcast. Surface winds were gentle, averaging around 3.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters above ground maintained a slightly stronger pace at 5.3 mph. The cloud cover was nearly complete, with low clouds making up 93.8% of the sky, mid-level clouds at 100%, and high clouds nearly as saturated at 99.4%. This extensive cloud coverage resulted in a cool morning, with temperatures averaging 48.0°F, and an absence of significant precipitation, though the heavy cloud layer was poised for possible moisture release. The gentle winds at lower altitudes seemed to meander, contrasting the slightly more robust flow aloft, indicating some turbulence between layers that could stir the clouds but not much else at this point.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions did not shift dramatically, though there was a notable persistence in cloud coverage and surface winds. The average surface wind increased slightly to 3.9 mph, while winds at 100 meters remained steady at 5.3 mph. The cloud cover remained almost complete at 99.8%, with low clouds decreasing marginally to 86.2% and mid-level clouds still densely packed at 97.2%, while high clouds dropped to 93.2%. A light drizzle began to fall, contributing 0.02 inches of precipitation, likely aided by the significant moisture trapped in the cloud layers. Turbulence persisted as the weaker surface winds struggled against the more consistent flow at higher altitudes, creating a dynamic canvas of slowly shifting clouds that moved in various directions across the sky, adding complexity to the overall scene.
By evening, the weather conditions began to transition as the cloud cover lessened slightly to an average of 90.5%. The surface wind picked up to an average of 7.9 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 12.3 mph. Low clouds became less predominant at 73.5%, while mid-level clouds dropped sharply to 40.5%, and high clouds cleared significantly to just 10.8%. The temperature stabilized around 53.2°F, and the day wrapped up dry, with no further precipitation. The distinct layering of clouds, combined with the increasing wind speeds aloft, created a captivating spectacle as they drifted apart. The transition in cloud dynamics and the sharp contrast between wind layers resulted in notable turbulence, allowing spectacular glimpses of the sky that hinted at clearing and a shift toward drier conditions.
