June 16th, 2026 Timelapse
On June 16th, the morning began with a gentle but consistent breeze, as surface winds averaged around 6.6 mph, while winds at 100 meters elevated to 10.8 mph. This difference in wind speed created a slight turbulence, with the stronger upper-level winds generating a noticeable shear effect that influenced cloud dynamics. The sky was predominantly overcast, with an average of 65.5% cloud cover, composed mainly of low clouds at 53.3% and a smaller portion of mid-level clouds at 30.7%. These clouds moved slowly across the sky, driven by the surface winds but influenced by the stronger winds aloft, which kept them from being too stagnant. Despite the cloud cover, there was no precipitation, allowing the cool morning temperature of 59.7°F to prevail while giving the atmosphere a fresh feel.
As the day progressed towards midday, temperatures rose to an average of 67.1°F, and the wind patterns shifted slightly. Surface winds increased to 9.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters gained momentum, averaging 12.5 mph. The cloud cover intensified, reaching 81.5%, all consisting of low clouds, as mid and high clouds had dissipated entirely. These low clouds, propelled by the stronger winds aloft, moved swiftly across the sky, creating a dramatic backdrop. The turbulent interplay between the layers continued, with the surface winds lagging behind the faster upper winds, resulting in varying cloud speeds and an intricate dance of shifting shadows below. The atmosphere remained stable, with no rain, even as the clouds thickened, making for a curious contradiction between the heavy appearance of the sky and the lack of precipitation.
By evening, conditions changed noticeably as the sun began its descent. Winds at the surface picked up to an average of 12.0 mph, while winds at 100 meters further increased to 17.5 mph. The cloud cover dropped significantly to 11.9%, leaving behind a much clearer sky. This reduction in cloudiness allowed the setting sun to cast a warm glow over the landscape, illuminating the remnants of the low cloud deck. The earlier turbulence from the morning and midday gave way to calmer conditions, though the differential between surface winds and upper-level winds still created some light wind shear. As the day wrapped up, the sky transitioned from a thick blanket of clouds to a more open view, highlighting the dynamic nature of the day’s weather and showcasing the intricate relationship between wind patterns and cloud movements that had characterized June 16th.
