March 13th, 2026 Timelapse
On March 13th, the day began under a thick blanket of clouds, with an average temperature hovering around 48°F. Surface winds were gentle at about 4.3 mph, while winds aloft at 100 feet reached a brisker 10.1 mph. The extensive cloud cover was complete, with low, mid, and high clouds all at 100 percent, creating a uniform gray sky that hinted at the precipitation to come. The persistent moisture led to light rain, accumulating 0.17 inches through the morning. Turbulence was present due to the conflicting wind directions; surface winds shifted in five distinct ways, creating a swirling effect that disturbed the cloud layers above. This dynamic wind interaction resulted in low clouds that drifted slowly, while the mid and high clouds, influenced by the stronger winds aloft, moved more rapidly across the sky.
As the day unfolded into midday, conditions remained overcast, and the temperature dipped slightly to an average of 40.3°F. Surface winds increased to an average of 6.2 mph, while winds at 100 feet slightly decreased to 10 mph. The cloud cover persisted at 100 percent, with rain intensifying to a total of 0.44 inches by this point. The ongoing wind shear between the surface and higher altitudes continued to create notable turbulence in the atmosphere. The low clouds clung to the horizon, while the mid and high clouds continued their swift passage, exacerbated by the conflicting wind directions at different levels. This layered movement generated a dramatic visual effect as the clouds appeared to be racing overhead, constantly changing shapes and textures while maintaining their dense coverage.
In the evening, temperatures began to stabilize around 41.2°F, with a reduction in surface wind speed to a mere 1.9 mph, and winds at 100 feet dropping further to 2.2 mph. Despite the diminished wind speeds, the cloud cover remained at an impressive 100 percent, with both low and mid-level clouds still intact, while high clouds showed a slight decrease, falling to 99.6 percent. The steady rain continued, bringing the total precipitation for the day to 1.73 inches. The calming winds led to a more stable atmosphere, yet the earlier turbulence left its mark, with remnants of swirling cloud formations still visible. As the day drew to a close, the thick cloud layers loomed over the landscape, creating a serene yet imposing spectacle, reflecting the significant weather dynamics experienced throughout the daylight hours.
