December 7th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 7th, the morning began under a blanket of 100% cloud cover, with low, mid, and high clouds all contributing to a dreary yet fascinating sky. Surface winds averaged 11.6 mph, while winds at 100 meters were notably stronger, averaging 20.3 mph, creating a distinct layer of turbulence as these opposing wind forces interacted. The humidity in the air was palpable, and light precipitation of 0.02 inches fell intermittently, hinting at the moisture trapped within the dense cloud layers. As the clouds drifted through the sky, they moved uniformly at a slow pace, largely influenced by the stronger prevailing winds above, which added to the sense of a heavy, overcast morning. This dynamic created an intriguing visual effect as the clouds shifted and swirled, providing a captivating display of nature's interplay.
As the day progressed into midday, the weather began to evolve. By this time, surface winds had eased slightly to an average of 9.4 mph, while the winds aloft at 100 meters diminished to 15.8 mph. The cloud cover also began to break, with 63.2% remaining overhead. Low and mid-level clouds contributed significantly to this remaining cover, with low clouds at 46.8% and mid-level clouds at 49.2%. The reduction in cloud density allowed patches of brighter sky to peek through, creating a striking contrast against the darker clouds still in view. The interaction between the different wind layers continued to create some turbulence; as the stronger winds aloft met the lighter surface winds, they caused the clouds to shift more dynamically across the sky, resulting in a scene where clouds raced past at varying speeds, a testament to the wind's inconsistency.
By the evening, the skies transformed yet again, with cloud cover decreasing to an average of 46.7%. The surface winds relaxed further, averaging 7.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters remained fairly stable at an average of 14.5 mph. The clouds, now largely consisting of mid-level formations at 35.7%, displayed a more layered effect, with low clouds dropping to only 21.0%. The reduction in cloud cover combined with the persistent upper winds created a calm visual, as the evening light began to fade. With no precipitation recorded in the later hours, the day ended on a quiet note, marked by gentle breezes and the fading echoes of a day that had begun under a heavily clouded sky. This journey from a rainy morning to a more serene evening highlighted the capricious nature of weather in the Northwest, where shifting winds and clouds continually redefine the atmosphere.
