December 5th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 5th, the morning began under a veil of thick clouds, cloaking the sky in a consistent gray. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging around 5.8 mph, but as one looked higher, the winds picked up significantly, reaching 12.5 mph at 100 meters. This notable difference in wind speed created a layer of turbulence, as the higher winds pushed the already dense cloud cover along. Low clouds dominated the horizon, with 97% coverage, while mid and high clouds were nearly as omnipresent, at 93.3% and 99.7%, respectively. Light precipitation of 0.04 inches fell intermittently, adding to the dampness of the morning, as the moist air flowed upward, feeding the layers of gray above.
As the day unfolded into midday, the atmosphere warmed slightly, reflected in a temperature rise to about 52.8°F. Wind conditions became a bit more lively, with surface winds increasing to an average of 10.4 mph and the winds at 100 meters climbing to 19.0 mph. The cloud cover remained remarkably consistent at 100%, with low clouds completely blanketing the sky. However, mid-level clouds began to show more variability, dropping to 91.8% coverage. This dynamic scenario fostered a fascinating display of cloud movement; the faster upper winds stirred the mid-level clouds, creating a visually striking dance above the steady low clouds. The interaction between these layers resulted in a subtle turbulence, as the varying directions of the winds aloft played against the calmer surface air, leading to an almost choppy appearance in the cloud formations.
By evening, the cooling temperatures dropped slightly to an average of 51.6°F, while winds continued to escalate, averaging 13.6 mph at the surface and 22.8 mph at 100 meters. The cloud cover remained stubbornly high at 99.7%, with low clouds still thick at 97.7%. However, the mid-level clouds made a striking shift, reducing to just 35.3% coverage, allowing glimpses of the higher clouds, which retained 85.7% coverage. This layering effect combined with the stronger winds resulted in more noticeable turbulence, as the upper winds began to shear against the lower layers. The clouds, though still heavy with moisture, appeared to ebb and flow more gracefully, their outlines softened by the evening light. Overall, December 5th showcased a compelling interplay of winds, clouds, and light rain, creating a dynamic and visually engaging sky throughout the day.
