March 14th, 2026 Timelapse
On March 14th, the morning began with a crisp air temperature averaging around 38.0°F. Winds at the surface were gentle, averaging 6.7 mph, while winds at 100 meters were noticeably stronger at 12.5 mph, creating a wind shear effect that indicated a conflict between the layers. This difference contributed to a somewhat turbulent atmosphere, which influenced the movement of clouds. The sky was relatively clear to start, with an average cloud cover of just 22.0%. High clouds made up most of this cover, accounting for 20.8%, while low clouds were minimal at 4.2% and mid-level clouds were almost negligible at 0.8%. As these high clouds drifted in a westerly direction, they moved briskly, contrasting with the slower surface winds.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions transformed significantly. The temperature climbed to an average of 45.8°F, and the clouds thickened considerably, with overall cloud cover rising to 83.2%. The surface winds increased slightly to an average of 9.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters picked up pace to 13.3 mph. This atmospheric shift allowed for an increase in low clouds, which rose to 23.0%, and mid-level clouds surged to 17.0%. The high clouds remained prominent, now covering 82.8% of the sky. The stronger winds aloft continued to push clouds rapidly, creating a dynamic sky filled with varying textures and shades. The layering of clouds produced a visual effect of depth, and the wind shear between the surface and 100-meter levels contributed to turbulence, stirring up the air and causing some visible cloud movements and formations.
By evening, conditions began to stabilize slightly, although the cloud cover remained significant at 66.8%. The temperature was slightly higher, averaging 46.0°F. Surface winds increased again, averaging 10.1 mph, while winds at 100 meters reached up to 15.5 mph, maintaining a notable difference that indicated ongoing wind shear. Low clouds dwindled to just 1.2%, and mid-level clouds remained sparse at 4.2%, allowing the high clouds to dominate the sky with 65.0% coverage. These high clouds, in contrast to the evening light, created a stunning sunset backdrop, while the ongoing wind dynamics continued to stir the clouds, producing a slow dance in the fading daylight. This layered effect, along with the interplay of winds at varying altitudes, concluded the day with a serene yet animated sky.
