December 8th, 2025 Timelapse
On December 8th, the day began under a blanket of thick cloud cover, with 100% sky obscured by clouds at all levels. The air felt moist, contributing to a temperature of around 51.7°F, while surface winds averaged a gentle 8.7 mph. As the wind rose to 100 meters, it picked up speed to about 17.4 mph, creating a significant contrast with the calmer surface layer. This discrepancy indicated a developing wind shear, with the higher winds likely contributing to the rapid movement of low, mid, and high clouds. The cloud cover consisted of 81.7% low clouds and was completely saturated at mid and high levels, leading to light precipitation that totaled 0.32 inches by late morning. The low clouds, pushed by the stronger winds aloft, drifted swiftly across the sky, giving a sense of urgency to the otherwise tranquil morning mood.
As midday approached, conditions remained largely unchanged in terms of cloud cover, still holding strong at 100%. However, the winds began to strengthen, with surface speeds increasing to an average of 12.3 mph and winds at 100 meters rising to 23.4 mph. This increase in wind speed added a dynamic quality to the clouds, which continued to be fully cloaked in gray. The mid-level clouds kept pace with the blowing winds but now showed signs of movement that suggested the presence of turbulence due to the conflicting layers. With the low clouds increasing to 88.8%, the air felt dense and humid, further enhanced by an additional 0.60 inches of precipitation. The constant upper-level winds created a mesmerizing dance of clouds that swirled and shifted, presenting a vivid tableau against the backdrop of the still-ominous sky.
As evening settled in, the weather continued to exhibit its deciduous character, with surface winds averaging 9.7 mph and 100-meter winds dropping slightly to 19.4 mph. The clouds remained dense at 100% coverage but began to exhibit a subtle change; the low clouds decreased to 75.5%, while mid and high clouds remained almost entirely intact. This slight thinning at the lower levels likely allowed for some interesting layered cloud effects to emerge, creating a textured sky that appeared to shift and change with the waning light. The total precipitation for the day reached 2.04 inches, which reflected the relentless moisture that had permeated the atmosphere. As the day drew to a close, the clouds hung low and heavy, but the turbulence created by the upper winds suggested that the sky might just reveal a little more drama before darkness fell.
