April 22nd, 2026 Timelapse
On April 22nd, the morning began under a thick blanket of clouds, with sky cover reaching a full 100% at all levels. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging 6.2 mph, but at 100 meters, they picked up to a brisk 12.6 mph, creating a notable wind shear situation. Low clouds, nearly entirely present at 99.4%, moved steadily from the west as the surface winds struggled to keep up with the faster, more powerful winds aloft. This contributed to a damp atmosphere, resulting in light rain that accumulated to 0.24 inches by midday. The cool morning temperature hovered around 47.1°F, adding to the overall sense of a chilly, overcast start to the day.
As the day progressed into midday, the persistent cloud cover remained at 100%, but the dynamics within the clouds shifted slightly. The surface winds increased to an average of 7.4 mph, while winds at 100 meters dropped just a touch to 12.1 mph. This reduced difference in wind speed allowed for some turbulence, particularly as low clouds filled the sky completely. Mid-level clouds, previously dense, thinned out to about 71% coverage, exposing glimpses of the higher clouds, which continued to blanket the sky. Overall, the cloud movement remained swift, driven by the stronger upper-level winds, creating a dynamic scene as the clouds raced across the sky in various layers.
By evening, the weather took on a slightly different character as the surface winds further increased to 8.1 mph. Winds at 100 meters returned to 12.6 mph, again highlighting a strong wind shear effect. The cloud cover began to show signs of variation, with low clouds dropping to 96.7%, while mid-level clouds nearly dissipated to just 0.7% coverage. High clouds persisted at 87.5%, leading to a layered effect that painted the sky with varying shades of gray and white. As light rain subsided to a minimal 0.01 inches in the evening, conditions shifted to a cool 51.3°F. The culmination of these patterns created a serene yet active atmosphere, with the remnants of turbulent winds aloft stirring the high clouds into a gentle dance across the evening sky.
