October 3rd, 2025 Timelapse
On the 3rd of October, 2025, Northwest Skyscapes witnessed a peculiar display of cloud ballet, choreographed by the vagaries of wind and light. The day started off completely ensconced in cloud cover, a thick blanket that let no sunlight pass. The surface wind was respectably lazy at 1.9 mph, barely bothering to ruffle a leaf. But as the day progressed, the wind decided to shrug off its morning lethargy and picked up to a breezy 2.7 mph by noon. The clouds, not being ones to ignore a call to dance, began to clear in patches, lowering their omnipresence to 77.2%. However, they didn't quite commit to the idea of leaving, with the cloud cover increasing again to 81.2% by evening, perhaps missing the camaraderie of a complete congregation.
As the day flowed into the afternoon, the wind continued to add vigor to its steps, and the cloud cover bobbed along, revealing and concealing the sky in an atmospheric game of peek-a-boo. The surface wind, now at a solid 3.4 mph, and the aloft wind at 8.6 mph, moved the clouds in swirling, rapid patterns, like whisks stirring the sky into a frothy blend of blue and grey. The temperature was a cool average of 55°F, making the day neither too biting nor too warm. A grand total of zero inches of precipitation marked the day, as if the clouds were too busy dancing to spare any tears. By nightfall, however, they decided to group together again, pushing the cloud cover back up to 99.6%. There was no sunset to speak of, really, with the clouds acting like overzealous theater curtains, but hey, that's just how October 3rd, 2025 rolled.
