August 15th, 2026 Timelapse
On August 15th, the morning began under a thick blanket of clouds with a cloud cover averaging 100%. Low clouds dominated the sky, completely obscuring any hint of sunlight, while mid and high clouds were barely present, only at 0.2% and 1.4% respectively. Surface winds were light, averaging a mere 2.3 mph, while winds at 100 meters climbed slightly to around 3.4 mph. This minimal surface activity allowed the low clouds to remain stagnant, creating a uniform grey sky. The calmness at lower levels contrasted with potential turbulence at higher altitudes, hinting at a difference in wind dynamics, though there was no precipitation to disrupt the stillness of the morning.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions showed some subtle evolution. Surface winds increased slightly to an average of 3.2 mph while winds at 100 meters rose to about 4.0 mph, suggesting a gentle stirring of the atmosphere. The cloud cover remained dense at 100%, though mid-level clouds began to make a slight appearance, registering at 8.8%. This shift in cloud dynamics could be attributed to the very light southerly winds below mixing with the slightly stronger easterly winds aloft, which helped lift the existing low clouds, allowing for some variation in texture across the sky. However, the high clouds remained absent, making the sky appear even more layered and complex as the midday sun attempted to peek through the ever-present low clouds.
By evening, the conditions continued to subtly transform as surface winds picked up to an average of 6.9 mph, and winds at 100 meters saw a notable increase to 10.4 mph. The cloud cover began to break slightly, averaging 84.7%, with low clouds still holding strong at 60.1%, while mid and high cloud percentages shifted to 1.9% and 27.0% respectively. This change indicated a gradual lifting and thinning of the cloud layer, likely a result of the stronger winds aloft interacting with the lower layer. A gentle turbulence was felt as the conflicting air movements at different altitudes created a dance of clouds across the sky, with some low clouds racing away beneath the higher layers. As the temperature hovered around 65.1°F, the evening marked a calm yet dynamic end to a day characterized by a layered sky and subtle shifts in wind and cloud patterns.
