September 28th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 28th, the day began under predominantly cloudy skies, with high cloud cover reaching an impressive 75 percent. Surface winds were notably calm, averaging just 1.2 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters were slightly stronger at 2.3 mph. The cool morning air held a temperature around 46.6°F, as low and mid-level clouds remained sparse, occupying only 1.2 and 1.5 percent of the sky respectively. The predominance of high clouds suggested a stable atmosphere, though the low wind speeds at the surface allowed for a lack of noticeable movement in the clouds, creating a rather serene scene. However, this tranquility was interrupted by subtle turbulence resulting from conflicting wind directions aloft, hinting at the dynamic nature of the atmosphere just above the surface.
As the day progressed into midday, the atmosphere began to evolve. The cloud cover decreased slightly to 67 percent, with the high cloud layer still dominating at 66.2 percent. Surface winds remained steady at 1.2 mph, but winds at 100 meters dropped to an average of 1.6 mph, indicating a relative calm across both layers. The gentle pull of the winds allowed some of the clouds to drift slowly, creating a soft, flowing appearance against the brighter sky. While there were no significant changes in precipitation, the layering of clouds suggested potential for future weather activity. Wind shear became more apparent as surface winds began to shift direction, swirling and creating small patches of turbulence that added a hint of excitement to the otherwise mild conditions.
By evening, the weather had shifted once again, with surface winds picking up to an average of 5.0 mph and winds at 100 meters increasing to 7.8 mph, indicating a more active atmosphere. The cloud cover began to resemble the morning's conditions, returning to 76 percent overall, but with a noticeable increase in mid-level clouds, which rose to 13.6 percent. The atmospheric dynamics saw a stronger interplay between the wind layers, leading to increased turbulence and a more dramatic display of layered clouds as they moved in various directions. While the temperatures hovered around 61.6°F, the layered effects of the clouds, combined with the swirling winds, created a captivating visual tapestry against the backdrop of the setting sun. It was a fitting conclusion to a day of subtle yet fascinating weather transformations.
