April 19th, 2026 Timelapse
On April 19th, the morning began under a thick blanket of clouds, with an impressive average cloud cover of nearly 100%. The temperature hovered around a chilly 46.3°F, while surface winds were barely perceptible at an average of 1.3 mph. In contrast, winds at 100 meters were noticeably stronger at 5.1 mph, creating a significant 3.8 mph difference that hinted at turbulence just above ground level. The predominance of mid and high clouds—97% and 99.4% respectively—contributed to a muted sky, casting a gray hue over the landscape. While low clouds barely made an appearance, the winds aloft were likely causing these high clouds to drift steadily, albeit slowly, across the skyline, with surface winds not providing much assistance in their movement.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions shifted dramatically. The temperature rose to a pleasant 66.6°F, and surface winds picked up to an average of 4.6 mph. Wind patterns were still somewhat variable, with changes occurring frequently at both the surface and 100 meters. By now, the cloud cover remained at 100%, but the mid-level clouds decreased to 77.8%, allowing for some glimpses of brightness. The strong winds aloft continued to push the high clouds rapidly, creating a stunning effect as they swirled and shifted in various directions, driven by the conflicting surface winds. Turbulence was palpable, particularly where the surface winds were unable to match the more vigorous flow at higher altitudes, resulting in a dynamic interplay between the layers that produced fascinating cloud formations.
In the evening, the weather maintained its cloud-dominated character, with average cloud cover still around 99.7%. Surface winds increased further to an average of 6.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters reached up to 11.4 mph, indicating a persistent contrast between the two levels. The turbulence from earlier in the day lingered, creating a captivating visual of layered clouds, as the high cloud cover remained substantial at 99.7%. With mid-level clouds falling to 42.2%, there were moments when the setting sun attempted to break through, lending a soft glow to the landscape. The wind shear continued to orchestrate the movement of clouds, with various layers seemingly dancing in harmony, despite their differing speeds and directions. The evening wrapped up with a refreshing breeze, a fitting conclusion to a day filled with ever-changing skies.
