December 2nd, 2025 Timelapse
On December 2nd, conditions began the day under a thick blanket of clouds, with 100% cloud cover predominantly comprised of low clouds that hovered just above the ground. Surface winds were gentle, averaging around 2.1 mph, while winds at 100 meters ascended to about 4.0 mph, creating a light but noticeable breeze. The temperature started at a cool average of 41.9°F, setting a brisk tone for the morning. This low-level cloudiness and stagnant airflow resulted in a tranquil yet somewhat dreary atmosphere, with no precipitation recorded at this juncture. The lack of wind shear contributed to a relatively stable morning, allowing the extensive cloud cover to remain undisturbed, though the gentle winds at higher altitudes hinted at the potential for some dynamic activity later in the day.
As midday approached, conditions evolved with a slight increase in temperature to an average of 45.9°F, but the overall cloud cover remained high at 98.2%. Notably, the wind patterns shifted subtly, with surface and 100-meter winds dropping to around 1.8 mph and 1.9 mph respectively. This reduction in surface wind speed created a more static environment, allowing the low clouds to linger, while a more active upper layer with 15.2% high clouds began to form, suggesting an influx of warmer air at higher altitudes. The interplay between these layers led to a few high clouds drifting in, creating a layered effect against the thick cloud backdrop. The absence of precipitation during this period contributed to a feeling of suspended anticipation, as though the atmosphere was holding its breath just before a change.
By the evening, the temperature dipped slightly to an average of 45.3°F, and the cloud cover began to break up, revealing more of the high cloud layers that had developed throughout the day. The winds at 100 meters picked up slightly to 3.8 mph, while surface winds remained steady at 1.8 mph. This subtle difference highlighted a developing wind shear situation, where differing speeds at various altitudes led to some turbulence, particularly noticeable in the shifting cloud formations. With 82.7% cloud cover primarily composed of 65% low clouds and a significant 36% high clouds, the sky transformed into a tapestry of layered textures and hues as the sun dipped closer to the horizon. The evening sky showcased a more dynamic visual story, with fast-moving high clouds creating intriguing shadows and patterns against the more static low cloud base, effectively closing out the day with a hint of drama.
