February 6th, 2026 Timelapse
On February 6th, the morning began with a gentle atmosphere, characterized by a light surface wind averaging around 4.4 mph. However, as the day progressed upwards, winds at 100 meters picked up significantly, averaging 10.1 mph. This disparity between surface and upper-level winds created a slight turbulence, leading to some interesting dynamics in the cloud cover above. The sky was predominantly overcast with an average cloud cover of 79.2%, primarily composed of high clouds, which made up 75.5% of the overall cloud composition. Low clouds hovered at 27.5%, while mid-level clouds were virtually absent. The temperature was a cool 38.5°F, suggesting a crisp start to the day without any precipitation in sight. The winds aloft, moving faster than those at the surface, contributed to a fairly stable cloud layer that seemed to glide across the sky.
As the day unfolded into midday, the weather transitioned markedly. The surface wind remained steady at around 4.3 mph, but the winds at 100 meters decreased to an average of 6.2 mph. This reduction in upper-level wind speed allowed for a noticeable easing of turbulence, while the cloud cover dropped significantly to around 35%. This was primarily due to the dispersal of high clouds, which now constituted about 30.8% of the sky, supplemented by a slight increase in low and mid-level clouds, which accounted for 10.2% and 3.8% respectively. The warm-up was evident as temperatures climbed to a pleasant 51.6°F, reflecting a typical mid-winter lull where the warmth pushes back against the lingering chill. The winds at different altitudes remained aligned, enabling the clouds to move more uniformly, presenting a calmer, yet still dynamic, sky.
By the evening, conditions continued to stabilize, with wind speeds at the surface slightly decreasing to an average of 4.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased again to about 8.7 mph. This slight uptick in wind aloft created a gentle wind shear, contributing to the layered cloud effects that were evident in the shrinking cloud cover of just 10.5%. The high clouds had nearly dissipated, leaving only a minimal presence, while low clouds were practically nonexistent. Mid-level clouds were more noticeable now, forming a thin veil that allowed for glimpses of the clearing sky. The temperature hovered around 51.2°F, striking a comfortable end to the day. As dusk approached, the interplay between the remaining clouds and the fading daylight offered a serene yet captivating end to the day's weather, marking a transition into a crisp evening without any expected precipitation.
