February 7th, 2026 Timelapse
On February 7th, the day began under a dense blanket of clouds, with an impressive 100% cloud cover dominating the sky. Surface winds were relatively gentle, averaging around 9.2 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters reached an average of 18.2 mph. This significant difference in wind speed contributed to a robust layer of low clouds, accounting for approximately 57.8% of the total cloud cover, which drifted slowly across the horizon. Light precipitation began early in the morning, with a total of 0.16 inches recorded, adding to the dampness of the air, while temperatures hovered around a cool 44.1°F. The conflicting wind patterns—calmer breezes at the surface and stronger gusts above—created a slight turbulence, causing the clouds to exhibit a dynamic, shifting nature.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions remained overcast, with cloud cover still holding steady at 100%. Surface winds picked up to an average of 12.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 22.3 mph, further intensifying the upward motion of the lower cloud layers. The low clouds became more prominent, comprising 72.5% of the total cloud cover, while mid-level clouds remained at 100% and high clouds slightly diminished to 92%. This variation in cloud height created an engaging visual spectacle as layers of clouds fought against each other, driven by the contrasting wind speeds. The turbulence increased as the faster winds aloft interacted with the slower surface winds, leading to more dramatic cloud formations and a continuous light drizzle, which added another 0.17 inches to the day's precipitation total.
By evening, the cloud cover remained dense, averaging 98.2%, although it showed some signs of stratification as the low clouds surged to 93.5%, while mid and high cloud layers dropped to 62% and 54.8%, respectively. Surface winds slowed again to about 9.2 mph, and winds at 100 meters decreased to 16.8 mph, highlighting a subtle shift in the day’s dynamics. This decrease in wind speed at higher altitudes compared to the earlier hours allowed for more stable cloud formations, although patches of turbulence were still evident due to the lingering differences in wind direction and speed. Temperatures rose slightly to an average of 48.2°F by this time, and the day concluded with a light drizzle contributing an additional 0.06 inches of precipitation. The evening sky retained its dramatic layered effect, with clouds moving gracefully yet quickly, leaving observers to appreciate the subtle beauty of a weather system in constant motion.
