July 11th, 2026 Timelapse
On July 11th, morning conditions began under a thick blanket of clouds, with cloud cover reaching a staggering 100%. The surface wind was gentle, averaging just 2.0 mph, while winds at 100 meters were slightly stronger at 3.2 mph. This low-speed wind pattern allowed for a stable atmosphere, which contributed to the persistent low clouds and light rain, resulting in 0.08 inches of precipitation. As the low clouds hung heavily in the sky, there was a notable lack of high cloud formation, leaving the view somewhat monotonous. However, there were subtle signs of turbulence as the surface winds shifted directions, creating a gentle conflict with the slightly faster winds aloft, a phenomenon often observed when low-level winds struggle against those higher up.
As the day progressed into midday, the weather began to evolve dramatically. Surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 3.2 mph, and winds at 100 meters increased more noticeably to 4.6 mph. This shift helped to break apart the cloud cover somewhat, reducing it to an average of 72.8%. Low clouds maintained their dominance at 66%, but mid-level clouds also made their presence known at 49.5%. The change in wind speed and direction fostered dynamic cloud movements, with the lower clouds beginning to dissipate and shift as the winds at higher altitudes started to dominate. The increased wind shear between surface and higher-level winds provoked some turbulence, leading to swirling patterns and patches of blue peeking through, creating interesting visual contrasts in the sky. By midday, the temperature had risen to a comfortable 64.2°F, accompanied by another light rain accumulation of 0.09 inches.
In the evening, conditions continued to evolve with further changes in wind patterns. The surface wind increased to an average of 7.7 mph, while winds at 100 meters reached up to 11.2 mph. The cloud cover diminished significantly to an average of 34.3%, with low clouds dropping to 25.2% and mid-level clouds to only 16.7%. This reduction allowed for more sunlight to filter through, warming the air to an evening temperature of 65.8°F. The continued conflicts between the differing wind speeds at various altitudes contributed to noticeable turbulence, giving the clouds a more fragmented appearance across the horizon. As the day transitioned into night, the layered effects of the winds led to a beautifully textured sky, where the remaining clouds danced and swirled under the influence of the evening breezes, wrapping up a day of compelling weather dynamics.
