August 2nd, 2026 Timelapse
On August 2nd, the morning began with gentle winds that barely stirred the air at the surface, averaging only 2.7 mph. However, as the day began to unfold, winds at 100 meters picked up slightly to 4.4 mph, creating a subtle contrast that hinted at more dynamic weather patterns aloft. The cloud cover was quite variable, with a significant presence of low clouds covering about 40.4% of the sky, while mid-level clouds added an additional 7.4% to the mix. The cool morning temperature averaged 57.3°F, contributing to a tranquil atmosphere. With the relatively stable surface winds, there was little turbulence, although the light winds at lower altitudes contrasted with stronger flows aloft, hinting at some wind shear that could affect cloud movements later in the day.
As the day progressed into midday, a marked increase in cloud cover was observed, with a stunning 81.5% of the sky now shrouded in clouds. The surface winds picked up to an average of 6.1 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 8.2 mph. This shift created a more pronounced interaction between the cloud layers, as low clouds surged to cover 67% of the sky, while mid-level clouds rose to 42.5%. The increased wind speed at altitude helped to create brisk, fast-moving clouds that raced across the sky. The contrasting winds between the surface and aloft also contributed to some turbulence, causing the cloud bases to ripple and shift dynamically, highlighting the complex interplay of wind layers. Despite the cloud cover, no precipitation occurred, allowing the moisture-laden atmosphere to simply linger.
By evening, the weather began to settle down, with the surface winds averaging 10.4 mph and the winds aloft reaching 15.3 mph. The cloud cover thinned significantly, dropping to 20.7%, with low clouds now occupying 19.2% of the sky and mid-level clouds at 12.5%. The cleared skies allowed for glimpses of the transitioning light as the sun approached the horizon, illuminating the remaining clouds in a soft glow. The evening's winds remained consistent, but there were still pockets of turbulence as the winds at different altitudes occasionally conflicted, causing some minor, layered cloud effects. As the temperature edged up to an average of 66.5°F, the day wrapped up with an air of calm, reflecting a subtle yet engaging narrative of the evolving weather throughout the daylight hours.
