August 13th, 2026 Timelapse
On August 13th, the day began under a thick blanket of low clouds, covering the sky entirely at 100 percent cloud cover. Surface winds were gentle, averaging around 3.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters hovered slightly higher at 5.3 mph. This minimal wind at the surface contributed to the stagnant nature of the low clouds, which remained low and uniform. The temperature was a cool 57.6°F, setting a subdued tone for the morning. Despite the dense cloud cover, there was no precipitation, indicating that the moisture was primarily held in the atmosphere without falling as rain. The lack of significant wind at varying altitudes created a stable but somewhat tranquil atmosphere, with little to no turbulence detected between wind layers.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to shift. The cloud cover reduced significantly to an average of 47.8 percent, with low clouds still dominating at 47 percent and a small emergence of mid-level clouds at 1.8 percent. Meanwhile, surface winds remained steady at 3.5 mph, but winds at 100 meters decreased slightly to 4.7 mph, causing a subtle change in dynamics. The gentle winds allowed for some movement among the clouds, creating soft undulations. However, the conflict between the slower surface winds and the slightly faster winds aloft resulted in minimal turbulence. The temperature climbed to a warmer 69.8°F, fostering a more comfortable atmosphere as sunlight began to break through the cloud layer, casting diffused light over the landscape.
By the evening, conditions transformed further as the skies cleared remarkably, leaving just 2.5 percent of the sky covered by clouds, mainly high clouds at 2.2 percent. Surface winds picked up to an average of 8.3 mph, and winds at 100 meters saw a more significant increase to 12.0 mph, marking an end to the tranquility of the earlier hours. This increase in wind speed at upper altitudes, combined with the thinning cloud cover, created a clearer view of the sky, allowing for some beautiful evening hues as the sun neared the horizon. The earlier turbulence had mostly dissipated, giving way to smoother airflows and layered clouds that swirled gently as the evening progressed. With a final temperature of 71.5°F, the evening wrapped up the day with a sense of calm after the morning's cloud-dominated serenity.
