October 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On October 10th, the day began under relatively calm conditions, with surface winds averaging just 2.1 mph. At an altitude of 100 meters, however, the winds were slightly stronger, reaching an average of 4.9 mph, creating a subtle contrast in the atmosphere. The cloud cover was minimal at the start, with only 12.5% overall, indicating a tranquil morning sky. Of this, low clouds contributed 6.8%, while mid-level clouds made up 7.5% of the cover. With temperatures hovering around 46.8°F, any remaining moisture in the air was not enough to produce precipitation, leading to a serene yet slightly cool atmosphere. As the morning progressed, the gentle breezes at the surface and aloft worked in harmony, allowing for a few small, scattered clouds to drift lazily across the sky, untouched by any significant turbulence.
By midday, the weather underwent a noticeable transformation as the clouds began to thicken. Surface winds remained stable, averaging around 2.4 mph, while winds at 100 meters decreased slightly to 3.3 mph, which contributed to a more subdued atmosphere. Cloud cover increased dramatically to 34%, with low clouds rising to 12.8% and mid-level clouds surging to 26.5%. This shift in cloud dynamics was a result of the gentle push of moist air at the surface, which was now beginning to interact with the slightly faster-moving mid-level winds. As a result, the clouds appeared to be in a slow dance, with some layers moving eastward and others swirling with a slight turbulence that hinted at a more dynamic weather pattern. A light drizzle began to fall, totaling 0.02 inches, as the low and mid-level clouds merged, combining moisture and cooler temperatures in an almost whimsical display of autumnal weather.
As the evening approached, the atmosphere began to settle again, with surface winds picking up slightly to an average of 2.9 mph. Winds at 100 meters saw a small increase to 4.6 mph, creating a gentle yet noticeable breeze that brushed across the landscape. The cloud cover decreased to 20.2%, comprised of 10.4% low clouds, 13.2% mid clouds, and a newly introduced 4.4% high clouds. This layering of clouds created a stunning visual effect as the setting sun filtered through the thinning clouds, casting soft, golden hues across the sky. The final remnants of precipitation amounted to just 0.01 inches, adding a delicate sheen to the ground. As night fell, the varying wind speeds at different altitudes continued to create subtle turbulence, resulting in a sky that was still alive with movement and color, showcasing the intricate and ever-changing nature of Northwest weather.
