January 24th, 2026 Timelapse
On January 24th, the day began with a quiet and chilly morning, where temperatures lingered around 26.2°F. The atmosphere was predominantly overcast, with an impressive 76 percent cloud cover mainly composed of low clouds. Surface winds were gentle, averaging just 1.2 mph, while at 100 meters, winds picked up slightly to an average of 3.2 mph. This subtle wind difference created a static atmosphere, with clouds moving slowly and maintaining their low profile. The layer of clouds at the lower altitudes, combined with the lack of movement in the surface winds, left the sky feeling still and subdued, contributing to a thick blanket of gray above.
As midday arrived, the situation underwent a remarkable transformation. The temperature rose to a more comfortable 38.1°F, coinciding with a dramatic decrease in cloud cover to just 5 percent. Low clouds virtually vanished, with only thin high clouds remaining, drifting at 3.8 percent cover. Winds at the surface increased slightly to an average of 1.9 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters decreased to 2.3 mph, creating a noticeable difference in wind dynamics. This uneven wind pattern suggested a calm afternoon sky, with the few remaining clouds appearing to drift lazily, almost in slow motion. The lack of significant wind shear or turbulence allowed for clearer visibility, highlighting the transition from the earlier dense cloud cover to a more open and inviting sky.
By the evening, temperatures had only risen slightly to 39.7°F, and the atmosphere continued its trend toward clearer skies, with a mere 5.7 percent cloud cover. The surface winds remained light at 1.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 4.2 mph, maintaining a gentle flow above the stillness below. The high clouds, now accounting for 5.3 percent of the sky, moved more swiftly across the horizon, creating a dynamic contrast against the fading light. Despite the relatively calm surface conditions, this layer of wind at 100 meters suggested some turbulence, as the higher winds interacted with the tranquil air below, resulting in a subtle but fascinating display of cloud movements. Overall, the evening concluded with a serene sky, subtly marked by the whispers of wind that hinted at the layers above.
