August 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On August 10th, the day began under a thick blanket of low clouds that dominated the sky, with cloud cover reaching an impressive 99.4%. Surface winds were gentle, averaging around 4.2 mph, while the winds at 100 meters were stronger, averaging 6.3 mph. This disparity in wind speeds created a slight turbulence, as the stronger upper currents interacted with the calmer surface winds. The temperature at this early hour was a cool 56.7°F, reflecting the dampness in the air. The low clouds, driven by the surface winds and the light easterly breeze at 10 meters, moved slowly across the sky, creating a uniform gray layer that obscured the sunlight.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to shift. The cloud cover reduced significantly to an average of 54.8%, with low clouds still dominating at 52.8%, while a small presence of high clouds, around 5.2%, began to pepper the sky. Surface winds increased to an average of 6.5 mph, and winds at 100 meters picked up their pace to 8.6 mph. This increase in wind speed at higher altitudes led to a more pronounced separation between the cloud layers, allowing for some slight sunbreaks to peek through. The interaction between the stronger winds aloft and the lighter surface winds resulted in a more dynamic cloud movement, with the low clouds shifting more rapidly across the sky while the higher clouds drifted lazily, creating a layered effect.
By evening, the weather had transformed dramatically, with the cloud cover almost completely dissipating to just 0.1%. The surface winds had increased further to an average of 9.9 mph, while at 100 meters, the winds reached a notable 14.9 mph, leading to a marked increase in turbulence. The clearing skies allowed for temperatures to rise to a pleasant 67.1°F, making for a lovely end to the day. The absence of cloud cover complemented the stronger winds aloft, creating a clear view of the horizon. The day ended with a sense of calmness in the atmosphere, showcasing how the interplay of varying wind speeds and directions shaped the sky throughout the day.
