May 26th, 2026 Timelapse
On May 26th, the morning began with a cool and damp atmosphere, as low clouds blanketed the sky with an average coverage of 76.7%. Surface winds were calm, averaging just 2.1 mph, while winds at 100 meters picked up slightly to about 3.7 mph. This gentle breeze allowed the thick low clouds to hang low, creating a muted gray backdrop. The temperature held steady at a chilly 50.3°F, and a light drizzle contributed to a total precipitation of 0.02 inches. As the winds at different altitudes were relatively tranquil, they did not create any notable turbulence, but the varying wind directions at the surface hinted at some slight instability in the atmosphere, suggesting a potential shift as the day progressed.
As the day transitioned into midday, conditions began to evolve noticeably. Surface winds increased to an average of 6.5 mph, and winds at 100 meters rose significantly to 8.8 mph, leading to a gradual lifting of the cloud deck. By this time, low cloud cover reduced to 32.5%, while mid-level clouds also thinned out to 25.8%. The winds at different altitudes continued to change direction, which created some shear, leading to the formation of swirling patterns in the clouds. The dynamic interplay between the surface winds and those at higher altitudes resulted in faster-moving mid-level clouds that darted across the sky, while the underlying low clouds remained relatively stationary. Despite the improvement in visibility, the overall atmosphere remained cool, with a midday temperature of 59.0°F, and additional light precipitation of 0.02 inches hinted at the lingering moisture.
By the evening, the weather showcased a final transformation as the atmosphere continued to evolve. Surface winds picked up to an average of 7.8 mph while winds at 100 meters reached 11.6 mph, intensifying the turbulence as the day wore on. Cloud cover settled at 40.2%, comprised of 23% low clouds and 22.8% mid-level clouds, with the presence of high clouds making a rare appearance at 5.7%. This combination created a layered effect in the sky, as the faster-moving higher clouds drifted in a different direction than the slower low clouds beneath them, showcasing the contrasting wind patterns at different altitudes. The temperature slightly dropped to 58.8°F, and total precipitation for the day accumulated to 0.10 inches. This evening scene painted a diverse sky, where clouds fought for dominance, creating an intriguing visual display of layered skies and dynamic weather patterns.
