May 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On May 10th, the day began under a thick blanket of clouds, with the sky completely obscured at all levels. Surface winds were light, averaging 6.0 mph, but winds aloft at 100 meters were noticeably stronger, blowing at 8.8 mph. This disparity created a gentle breeze at ground level, while higher altitudes experienced a more robust airflow that contributed to the movement of the low, mid, and high clouds. The cloud cover was predominantly composed of mid-level clouds (about 92.4%) along with a significant presence of low clouds (36.2%) and high clouds filling the sky completely. Despite the cloud cover, the temperature was a cool 51.9°F, setting a rather subdued tone for the morning, with no precipitation reported.
As the day progressed into midday, the surface winds increased slightly to an average of 7.6 mph. Winds at 100 meters also rose to 10.4 mph, continuing the trend of stronger winds aloft. The cloud dynamics shifted dramatically during this time; low clouds surged to fill the sky at 95.5%, while mid-level clouds decreased to around 31.0% and high clouds reduced to 54.8%. This change allowed for some interesting visual effects, as the faster-moving lower cloud layer appeared to dominate the scene, swirling with the breeze. The interplay between the layers created a mild turbulence, particularly where the stronger winds at higher elevations conflicted with the lower ones, generating a gentle rolling effect across the sky.
By evening, the weather conditions transformed further, revealing a substantial reduction in cloud cover to about 28.0%. The remaining low clouds dropped to 22.0%, while mid and high clouds were nearly nonexistent at 0.7% and 6.2% respectively. Surface winds increased again, averaging 8.9 mph, with winds at 100 meters reaching 13.5 mph, indicating a continued stability in wind patterns throughout the day. This evening setup allowed for clearer skies and a temperature rise to a pleasant 59.5°F. The combination of diminishing cloud cover and consistent winds resulted in a tranquil evening, with the layered effects of the earlier clouds now giving way to a vast sky, dotted here and there with remnants of the earlier cloud formations. The evening's gentle breeze and clear skies provided a fitting end to a day characterized by the dynamic interplay of wind and clouds.
