March 12th, 2026 Timelapse
On March 12th, the day began under a blanket of thick clouds, with cloud cover reaching 100% across all levels. Low clouds composed 69%, while mid and high clouds completely filled the sky. Surface winds, averaging around 5.4 mph, were relatively gentle, but at 100 meters above ground, stronger winds at 10.4 mph added a sense of movement to the environment. This difference in wind speeds created a turbulent layer of wind shear, leading to conflicting air dynamics. As a result, the clouds remained predominantly stationary, blanketing the area and contributing to light precipitation that measured 0.07 inches. The morning temperature hovered around a cool 43.2°F, making for a damp and dreary start to the day.
As midday approached, conditions evolved slowly yet steadily. The surface winds remained stable at 5.4 mph, while the winds aloft slightly decreased to 9.7 mph. Despite the reduction in wind speed above the ground, the cloud cover remained steadfast at 100%. However, the low cloud percentage dropped slightly to 62.2%, while mid and high clouds continued to dominate the sky, maintaining their full coverage. The interaction between the gentle surface winds and the stronger winds aloft continued to create turbulence, causing the clouds to shift slightly but not dramatically. This resulted in a persistent, gray, overcast sky that saw an increase in precipitation to 0.12 inches. The atmosphere remained saturated, trapping cool air and holding temperatures steady around 43.2°F.
As evening settled in, the weather maintained its cloudy demeanor with no significant changes in cloud cover, which remained at 100%. The surface winds weakened further to an average of 4.1 mph, while wind speeds aloft fell to 6.6 mph, increasing the likelihood of turbulence due to the stark contrast between the lighter winds below and the moderately stronger winds above. The low clouds fully enveloped the area, now at 100%, while high clouds dropped slightly to 97.8%. This layering effect contributed to a dynamic yet subdued atmosphere. The day concluded with a total precipitation of 0.25 inches, bringing the day's total to 0.85 inches. The temperature dipped slightly to an average of 41.9°F, leaving behind a scene marked by the interplay of clouds and winds that had a subtle, yet captivating presence throughout the day.
