April 13th, 2026 Timelapse
On April 13th, the morning began with a cool average temperature of 46.3°F, accompanied by a notable cloud cover of around 65.8%. Surface winds were gentle, averaging 6.9 mph, while winds at 100 meters were significantly stronger, reaching an average of 11.0 mph. This discrepancy in wind speeds led to some interesting dynamics, as the stronger winds aloft contributed to the movement of low clouds that comprised 56.4% of the overall cloud cover. Mid-level clouds were also present at 54.2%, creating a layered appearance in the sky. Light precipitation of 0.02 inches fell during this period, likely aided by the moisture present in the low clouds, which combined with the surface winds to promote a misty spectacle that characterized the morning's weather.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions evolved significantly. The temperature rose slightly to an average of 50.2°F, while cloud cover increased dramatically to 91.2%. The surface winds picked up a bit to 9.1 mph, and winds at 100 meters also strengthened to an average of 12.6 mph. This increase in wind speed stirred the clouds, pushing the low cloud cover, which now made up 82.0%, into a more rapid motion across the sky. High clouds, which had previously been absent, emerged to represent 23.5% of the total cloud cover. The contrast between the swift movement of the high clouds and the denser, lower cloud layers created a striking visual effect, indicative of wind shear and turbulence between the different altitudes. The midday atmosphere was laden with moisture, which resulted in an additional 0.04 inches of rain, further drenching the landscape.
By the evening, temperatures remained stable at around 50.3°F, but the cloud cover intensified, reaching a full 100%. The low clouds dominated this final period, accounting for 99.5% of the total cloud cover, while mid and high clouds provided a striking backdrop with 37.0% and 90.2%, respectively. Surface winds decreased slightly to 8.0 mph, but winds at 100 meters held steady at 12.2 mph, maintaining the earlier wind shear dynamics that had contributed to the day’s turbulent cloud formations. The continued conflict between the various wind layers created a beautiful tapestry of rapidly shifting clouds and patterns in the sky as the sun set. The day concluded with a sense of stillness, as the precipitation subsided, leaving behind a rich, cloudy tapestry that promised another day of dynamic weather ahead.
