February 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On February 10th, the day began under a thick blanket of low clouds, with an impressive 99.5% cloud cover shrouding the sky in gray. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging just 1.6 mph, which contributed to a calm atmosphere. However, a slight increase in wind speed was noted at 100 meters, where the winds reached 2.6 mph. This subtle difference in wind patterns hinted at some vertical dynamics occurring aloft. Below the low cloud layer, temperatures hovered around a chilly 35.6°F, and despite the heavy cloud cover, there was no precipitation to note. With such a dense layer of low clouds, turbulence was minimal, as the winds at different altitudes were relatively uniform, allowing the low clouds to hang motionless throughout the morning.
As the day progressed toward midday, conditions began to shift noticeably. Winds at the surface increased to an average of 3.7 mph, while those at 100 meters picked up pace to 5.2 mph. The most striking change came in the cloud cover, which dropped to 61.8%. The low clouds dissipated significantly, leaving behind a high cloud layer that now comprised 60% of the sky. This transition allowed for intermittent sun to peek through, casting a warm glow and raising temperatures to a pleasant 47°F. The higher winds at this altitude likely contributed to the movement of the high clouds, which drifted rapidly eastward, creating a dynamic display of shifting patterns. The differing wind speeds at varying altitudes introduced light turbulence, enhancing the visual drama of the high clouds as they billowed and swirled overhead.
By the evening, the weather took on a different character as the temperature continued to rise slightly to an average of 48.1°F. Surface winds strengthened further to an average of 5.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters surged to 11.2 mph. A significant feature of the evening sky was the predominance of high clouds, which now encompassed 76.5% of the sky, creating a layered appearance against the fading light of day. The turbulence between the stronger winds aloft and the calmer surface winds contributed to a visually captivating display of clouds that seemed to dance across the sky. The evening concluded with a dramatic sky, where the fast-moving high clouds, illuminated by the setting sun, created a stunning panorama, showcasing the ever-changing beauty of the Northwest sky.
