September 29th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 29th, the day began under a shroud of thick cloud cover, with conditions that hinted at a damp morning. The winds at the surface averaged a gentle 8.0 mph, but a stronger breeze was felt at 100 meters, where the winds picked up to 14.2 mph, creating a noticeable difference in air movement as the day started. This disparity in wind speed led to some turbulence, particularly as the low clouds, which completely covered the sky at 100%, were pushed by the stronger winds aloft. The cloud layers were densely packed, with 100% low clouds and substantial mid and high cloud coverage—78% and 68.2%, respectively. A light drizzle was noted early on, with 0.01 inches of precipitation, reinforcing the overcast conditions that enveloped the area.
As the day progressed toward midday, the cloud cover remained steadfast, still at 100% overall, yet the dynamics within the cloud layers began to shift. Surface winds slightly decreased to an average of 6.6 mph, while winds at 100 meters dropped to 10.7 mph. The mid and high clouds became more pronounced, with mid-level clouds increasing to 84.8% and high clouds to 92.2%. This continued layering and thickening of clouds indicated a rich atmosphere, where the lower clouds were relatively static while the upper layers moved more swiftly due to the higher winds. The overall stability of the wind patterns, combined with the cloud dynamics, created a somber yet captivating sky as the clouds glided gracefully, sometimes appearing to swirl and interact, revealing glimpses of the upper levels that occasionally peeked through.
By evening, the weather maintained its cloud-dominated character, though some changes were evident. The surface winds further calmed to 5.8 mph, and the winds at 100 meters hovered around 10.6 mph, indicating a consistent but gentle breeze. The low clouds remained nearly complete at 99%, while the mid clouds decreased slightly to 90.6%, and a dramatic drop in high cloud coverage to 29.4% revealed a clearer sky above the thick blanket. This shift allowed for intriguing visual effects as the remaining high clouds danced under the influence of the stronger aloft winds, creating a layered appearance against the dimming light. The evening concluded with a bit more precipitation, totaling 0.06 inches throughout the day and leaving a rich and textured atmosphere that showcased the complex interplay of wind and cloud dynamics.
