September 26th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 26th, the day began with gentle conditions as the sun rose just after 7 AM, casting a soft light over the landscape. The surface winds were light, averaging only 1.1 mph, while winds at 100 meters hovered slightly higher at 1.5 mph. This calm atmosphere allowed for a modest cloud cover of around 21%, primarily consisting of low clouds that drifted lazily across the sky. These clouds, with only a trace of high-altitude wisps, created a serene morning backdrop. The air was cool, with an average temperature of 46.4°F, and there was no precipitation to speak of. As the day progressed, the winds began to change direction, creating a gentle turbulence at different altitudes, hinting at the more dynamic weather to come.
By midday, conditions had noticeably evolved, characterized by a slight increase in wind speeds. Surface winds picked up to an average of 3.9 mph while winds at 100 meters climbed to 5.3 mph, both indicating a shift in air circulation. The cloud cover also began to change, rising to an average of 24.2% with low clouds diminishing to 14% and high clouds making a more significant appearance at 12.8%. The high clouds were now moving relatively faster, driven by the stronger winds aloft. This created a visually striking contrast with the slower, lower cloud layers, as the upper clouds raced across the sky while the lower ones maintained a steadier pace. The interplay between these wind layers generated a mild level of wind shear, contributing to subtle variations in the cloud formations, but still, no precipitation fell during this time.
As evening approached, conditions continued to shift dramatically. Surface winds increased to an average of 7.1 mph while winds at 100 meters reached 12.4 mph, indicating a more turbulent atmosphere. The cloud cover surged to an average of 71.6%, dominated by a significant presence of high clouds that blanketed the sky. The low clouds had almost entirely dissipated, leaving just a faint trace, while mid-level clouds remained nonexistent. The layering of high clouds created a beautiful tapestry against the backdrop of the fading light, with the upper clouds moving swiftly in contrast to the calmer lower layers. The continuing turbulence and wind shear between these layers resulted in a dynamic sky, setting the stage for a stunning sunset as the temperature slightly rose to an average of 59.0°F. The day ended with the promise of more weather changes on the horizon, as the winds and clouds hinted at the complex systems at play above.
