September 10th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 10th, the day began under a thick blanket of clouds that captivated the early risers. Surface winds were gentle, averaging 6.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters aloft picked up to a stronger 10.0 mph. This wind shear between the surface and the upper levels created a situation where low clouds formed at around 31.2% of the sky, with high clouds dominating at 98.2%. The low clouds lingered, driven by the gentle surface winds, while the high clouds remained relatively stationary due to the faster winds above. With an average temperature of 59.6°F, the humidity in the air hinted at a possibility of rain, although none materialized during the morning hours.
As the day progressed toward midday, the cloud cover intensified, reaching a full 100%. The surface winds increased slightly to 8.5 mph, while the winds at 100 meters saw a modest rise to 11.7 mph. This change allowed the low clouds to swell dramatically, occupying about 92% of the sky, which made the visibility quite muted. The mid-level clouds also began to play their part, at about 5.2% coverage. The rapid movement of the high clouds contrasted with the slower low clouds, creating a striking visual effect as they streaked across the sky, tugging at the lower formations. As the winds aloft continued to push from a different direction than those at the surface, some turbulence occurred, leading to patches of erratic cloud behavior that added to the layered skies.
In the evening, the situation began to shift as the sky started to clear slightly, revealing glimpses of blue among the cloud cover. Surface winds picked up to an average of 10.2 mph, while winds at 100 meters rose to 15.7 mph, creating a notable wind shear. The cloud cover reduced to 58.3%, with low clouds dwindling to just 6% and mid-level clouds now making up 18.3% of the sky. The high clouds still lingered, comprising 58% of the total coverage, but the layering effects became more pronounced as the evening progressed. The different wind speeds caused the clouds to display a dynamic quality, with the high clouds racing past while the lower layers remained more stable. With temperatures dropping slightly to 61.4°F, the evening concluded with a serene yet bustling sky, illustrating the intricate dance of wind and clouds throughout the day.
