September 19th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 19th, the day began under a thick blanket of cloud cover, as low clouds dominated the sky with a striking 100% coverage. The surface wind was quite gentle, averaging just 1.7 mph, while a slightly stronger breeze wafted at 2.0 mph at 100 meters above ground. The high clouds, which accounted for nearly 65% of the total sky cover, added depth to the overcast scene. This uniform cloud layer, coupled with the minimal surface wind, resulted in a still morning atmosphere, with temperatures hovering around a cool 51.2°F. The lack of sunlight and the persistent cloudiness suggested that significant weather systems were at play, though no precipitation was recorded to disrupt the tranquility of the morning.
As the day progressed into midday, the wind picked up modestly at all altitudes. The surface level winds increased to an average of 2.3 mph, while winds at 100 meters rose to 3.0 mph. The cloud cover began to shift slightly, as low clouds comprised about 55.5% of the sky, while high clouds surged to nearly 95%. This change in cloud configuration was influenced by the gentle increase in wind speed, which encouraged a bit of movement among the cloud layers. The high clouds appeared to rush by, creating a striking visual against the otherwise still low cloud deck. Despite the gentle winds, some localized turbulence was likely present due to the differing wind speeds at various altitudes, generating a subtle clash between layers, but without causing any significant weather disturbances.
By evening, the weather underwent a remarkable transformation. The winds continued their gradual increase, averaging 4.5 mph at the surface and reaching 6.7 mph at 100 meters. The once-dominant cloud cover dispersed significantly, plummeting to just 0.4% as the day wound down, leaving behind a mostly clear sky. This marked shift revealed the sun's warmth, as temperatures climbed to a pleasant 67.8°F. With the clouds gone, the gentle evening breeze allowed for a serene atmosphere, devoid of turbulence or conflicting wind directions. The clarity of the sky at sunset showcased the day’s transition from a cloudy start to a beautiful, open evening, highlighting the dynamic nature of weather in the Northwest.
