March 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On March 10th, the day began with a calm and chilly atmosphere, as temperatures hovered around an average of 32.6°F. Surface winds were gentle, averaging just 3.6 mph, while winds at 100 meters elevated to a brisker 5.8 mph. This gentle breeze at surface level helped maintain a relatively stable environment, despite the presence of varied cloud cover. Overhead, the sky showcased a mix of mid-level clouds constituting 40% of the cover, with lower clouds making up a modest 1.5% and high clouds at 16.2%. The clouds drifted slowly, influenced by the slightly stronger winds aloft, though the overall cloud movement was gradual due to the calm lower winds. With 56.8% average cloud cover, the morning remained dry, but the atmosphere hinted at potential change as the day progressed.
As midday approached, the weather took a notable turn. Winds at the surface picked up to an average of 8.8 mph, while the winds at 100 meters increased to 12.9 mph, enhancing the overall dynamic in the atmosphere. This increase in wind speed at higher altitudes began to exert a stronger influence on the cloud layers, pushing the mid-level clouds to form a dense blanket that covered 100% of the sky. With low clouds now swelling to 33.5% and mid-level clouds filling the sky entirely, the visual effect was striking, as the clouds raced by, reflecting the faster winds. The conditions also brought about light precipitation, totaling 0.11 inches, which contributed to the thickening cloud layers. This turbulence created an interesting dynamic, as the faster winds aloft clashed with the slower winds at the surface, resulting in a gentle wind shear that stirred the clouds and made them appear to swirl and shift dramatically against the grey backdrop.
As the evening descended, the wind patterns remained consistent, with surface winds stabilizing around 6.5 mph and 100-meter winds slightly diminishing to 10.8 mph. The temperature had only risen slightly to an average of 41.4°F, making it a cool evening. The cloud cover persisted at an impressive 95%, with low clouds dominating the sky at 83.4% and high clouds contributing to a layered effect with 54.8%. The interplay of the slower surface winds against the faster upper winds continued to create subtle turbulence, leading to a fascinating display of cloud movement, with some clouds appearing to stack against others. Although light precipitation of 0.07 inches fell, it was a fitting conclusion to a day characterized by an intriguing battle between calm surface conditions and tumultuous upper winds, creating a sky that was anything but uneventful.
