April 16th, 2026 Timelapse
On April 16th, the morning began with a gentle and cool atmosphere, featuring surface winds averaging just 1.9 mph. At a height of 100 meters, the winds picked up slightly to 3.1 mph. These modest winds at the surface contributed to a tranquil setting, while low clouds blanketed the sky, covering 21 percent of the area. These low clouds moved slowly due to the calm surface winds, creating a serene visual as they drifted lazily across the horizon. The temperature hovered around a brisk 37°F, and although no precipitation was recorded, the moisture in the air hinted at the potential for scattered showers later in the day.
As the hours progressed towards midday, the scene transformed significantly. Wind speeds at the surface increased to an average of 7.0 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters rose to 9.5 mph. This change in wind dynamics contributed to a more lively sky, as the cloud cover expanded to 44.2 percent. Low clouds made up 25 percent of the cover, while mid-level clouds surged to 34 percent, indicating an increase in moisture and instability. The higher winds aloft began to clash with the gentler surface winds, creating pockets of turbulence and enhancing the movement of clouds, which now sped across the sky. The arrival of light precipitation, totaling 0.02 inches, punctuated the midday atmosphere and added a refreshing element to the scene, connecting the observed cloud activity with the moisture in the air.
In the evening, the weather continued to evolve, with surface winds increasing slightly to an average of 8.5 mph and winds aloft reaching 13.4 mph. Cloud cover diminished to 26.3 percent, with low clouds retreating to 13.5 percent and mid-level clouds at 18.5 percent, while a hint of high clouds emerged at 1.5 percent, adding a delicate layer to the sky. The changes in wind direction at both the surface and aloft indicated a shift towards stability, yet the lingering effects of earlier turbulence were still evident in the cloud dynamics. The layering of clouds created a visually intriguing sky, as the lower layers moved more slowly while upper clouds scudded overhead. As temperatures settled around 49.9°F, the day concluded with a calm and clear atmosphere, leaving behind a canvas of clouds that told the story of a day marked by gentle breezes and evolving skies.
