January 23rd, 2026 Timelapse
On January 23rd, the morning commenced with chilly temperatures around 32.2°F, blanketing the landscape under a veil of clouds. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging only 2.0 mph, which allowed the lower cloud cover, primarily low clouds at 40.3%, to remain stable and diffuse. By contrast, winds at 100 meters pushed a bit stronger at 4.5 mph, contributing to a layered feeling to the sky, with high clouds making up 10% of the total cover. This slight disparity in wind speed between the surface and aloft hinted at minimal turbulence, with no significant wind shear disrupting the serene morning atmosphere. The cloud cover averaged 46.3%, creating a soft, overcast look that suggested potential for light precipitation, although none materialized.
As the day progressed into midday, temperatures climbed to a more comfortable average of 41.0°F. The surface winds increased slightly to 3.0 mph, while the winds at 100 meters decreased marginally to 4.1 mph. The substantial drop in cloud cover to 14.8% indicated that the morning’s low clouds were dissipating, allowing a few high clouds to drift lazily across the sky at 9.8%. The shift in wind patterns, with both surface and higher winds moving in relatively consistent directions, helped to clear the skies and provide more visibility. With the reduced cloud cover, the atmosphere felt more open and inviting, highlighting the interplay between the softer surface winds and the more robust winds aloft, which kept the remaining clouds moving without significant turbulence.
In the evening, temperatures stabilized slightly at 41.3°F while the wind remained gentle, averaging 2.1 mph at the surface and 4.4 mph at 100 meters. The cloud cover tightened further, shrinking to a mere 1.3% with only trace amounts of high clouds remaining. The lack of significant cloud cover combined with the calm winds created a serene evening sky, devoid of the dramatic cloud dynamics seen earlier. With the winds aloft still pushing gently but consistently, the evening wrapped up with a peaceful atmosphere, the last vestiges of cloud slowly fading, leaving a vast, clear expanse overhead. The stability of the day’s weather left behind a tranquil night, a fitting conclusion to a day that began with a blanket of clouds and ended with a clear sky.
