May 28th, 2026 Timelapse
On May 28th, the day began with relatively calm conditions, as the surface winds averaged around 3.3 mph, providing a gentle breeze. At 100 meters, winds picked up slightly to an average of 5.0 mph, creating a mild vertical gradient that contributed to the overall stability of the atmosphere. The sky was largely clear at dawn, with an average cloud cover of only 10.2%, primarily composed of high clouds (6.0%) and a small fraction of low clouds (4.3%). This thin veil of clouds moved lazily across the sky, driven mostly by the light winds aloft, while the surface remained relatively undisturbed. The day's temperature started at a cool 56.0°F, and with no precipitation in sight, it was a tranquil start to the day.
As the morning transitioned into midday, conditions began to gradually evolve. Surface winds increased to an average of 6.8 mph, while winds at 100 meters accelerated more significantly to 9.2 mph, fostering a slight lift in air motion. This change in wind speed contributed to a larger cloud cover, which grew to 22.8% by midday, dominated by high clouds (22.2%) with only a hint of low clouds remaining (0.8%). The faster-moving high clouds suggested an increase in atmospheric activity, likely spurred by the wind patterns aloft. Despite these changes, turbulence remained minimal, as the winds at both surface and 100 meters flowed in a fairly consistent direction, limiting shear and allowing for a gentle dance of clouds across the sky.
In the evening, the weather took on a notably different character, marked by an increase in cloud cover to 70.7%, with a substantial rise in low clouds to 30.7% and a continued presence of high clouds at 63.3%. Surface winds picked up further, averaging 12.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters surged to 18.1 mph, creating a noticeable contrast between layers of the atmosphere. This difference in wind speeds fostered some turbulence, with clouds exhibiting layered effects as they were pushed and pulled by varying wind currents. The temperature settled at a comfortable 63.4°F, and even though there was no precipitation, the dynamic interplay between the winds and clouds painted a lively and dramatic sky. The evening showcased a tapestry of movement, with the low and high clouds racing against each other, driven by their respective wind layers, resulting in an engaging visual display that captured the essence of an evolving spring day.
