June 23rd, 2026 Timelapse
On June 23rd, the morning began with a distinctive blanket of clouds enveloping the sky, as high clouds covered approximately 94% of the overhead expanse. Surface winds were gentle, averaging just 1.7 mph, while wind speeds at 100m were slightly stronger at 3.2 mph. The low cloud presence was minimal, and with a temperature of 64.2°F, the atmosphere felt comfortably cool. The high-level clouds, moving steadily from the southwest, appeared to be influenced by the light surface winds and the slightly more vigorous winds aloft. This combination of factors created a serene yet dynamic sky, with no precipitation recorded, allowing the clouds to drift peacefully without the interference of turbulence or wind shear, which often characterizes more chaotic weather patterns.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions intensified significantly. The temperature rose to a warmer average of 82.8°F, and the cloud cover thickened even further, reaching a remarkable 99.5% coverage with only high clouds remaining. Wind speeds at the surface increased slightly to 3.0 mph, while winds at 100m rose to 3.9 mph. The high clouds continued to move swiftly, showcasing their ability to shift with the prevailing wind currents. However, there was a notable increase in wind shear as the upper-layer winds began to outpace the surface winds, creating a subtle turbulence that added a sense of motion to the sky. This interaction resulted in the clouds forming layers, where the upper portions appeared almost brushed across the sky, revealing the dynamic relationship between wind patterns at different altitudes.
By evening, the scene shifted again as the cloud cover diminished dramatically to approximately 19.7%. The surface winds picked up to an average of 7.1 mph, while winds at 100m soared to 10.9 mph, maintaining a steady flow from the west. The once-dominant high clouds gave way to some mid-level clouds, accounting for about 4.9% of the overall coverage, with only a faint trace of high clouds left at 15.1%. This transition marked the end of the day, as the atmosphere settled into a quieter state; the earlier turbulence subsided, leaving behind a crisp sky. Overall, the evening displayed a striking contrast to the morning's thick clouds, highlighting the day's evolution from a cool, overcast start to a more vibrant and open sky, illustrating the ever-changing nature of weather in the Northwest.
