August 4th, 2026 Timelapse
On August 4th, the morning began with gentle winds at the surface, averaging a mere 1.5 mph, which created a calm and serene atmosphere. Aloft at 100 meters, the winds picked up slightly to 4.2 mph, contributing to a clear distinction in wind dynamics. High clouds, covering 18.2% of the sky, drifted gracefully across the horizon, pushed gently by the higher altitude winds. This light morning breeze kept cloud movement smooth, as low and mid-level clouds were virtually absent. The temperature hovered around 60.7°F, creating a pleasant start to the day, but there was no precipitation, letting the sun shine unobstructed through the thin veil of high clouds.
As the day progressed into midday, the landscape transformed significantly. Surface winds increased to an average of 5.0 mph while winds at 100 meters rose to 6.8 mph, creating a more lively atmosphere. This change in wind speed coincided with a notable increase in cloud cover, which rose to 49.2%, all attributed to the same high cloud category. The winds aloft began to push the clouds more rapidly across the sky, creating a dynamic visual effect as they shifted directions slightly compared to their surface counterparts. There was a sense of mild turbulence as the variations in wind direction at different altitudes caused a gentle tussle of the cloud layers, leading to patches of swirling formations that caught one's eye. The temperature climbed to a warm 77.5°F, and the overall weather remained dry.
By evening, conditions settled into a comfortable rhythm with surface winds averaging 5.4 mph and those at 100 meters reaching 9.6 mph. The high cloud cover remained substantial at 41.8%, though slightly reduced from midday, and the clouds continued to move briskly across the sky, taking on an ethereal quality in the fading light. This layered structure of cloud formations created an intricate display, with the higher winds causing a slight wind shear that added depth to the scene. As twilight approached, the temperature climbed to a warm 81.6°F, and the peaceful evening skies invited contemplation without the interruption of precipitation. The day's weather encapsulated a harmonious blend of calm surface conditions and lively upper-level dynamics, ultimately leaving a memorable imprint of the Northwest skies.
