September 6th, 2026 Timelapse
On September 6th, the day began with a gentle stillness as surface winds averaged around 1.4 mph, barely ruffling the leaves. At 100 meters, winds slightly increased to 2.5 mph, indicating a subtle movement aloft. The sky was cloaked in a dense shroud of clouds, with an impressive 82% cloud cover, composed of 21.5% low clouds, 58.2% mid-level clouds, and 47% high clouds. This thick cloud cover held back any early morning sunlight, contributing to a cool average temperature of 56.1°F. Winds varied directionally at different altitudes, leading to some turbulence as the gentle surface winds conflicted with the slightly stronger currents aloft. This resulted in a layered effect in the clouds, with the higher altitudes moving faster than the lower layers, creating a dynamic and somewhat chaotic sky.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to shift. The surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 1.9 mph while winds at 100 meters fluctuated down to 2.1 mph. The cloud cover diminished significantly to 44.5%, with low clouds becoming less prominent at just 7.8%, mid-level clouds dropping to 20.5%, and high clouds reducing to 32.2%. This change allowed more sunlight to filter through, raising the temperature to a pleasant 65.7°F. The wind patterns remained variable, continuing to shift direction, which led to some interesting cloud dynamics. The winds at different altitudes continued to create turbulence and wind shear, resulting in visible streaming effects in the cloud layers as they drifted in swirling patterns across the sky, each layer responding differently to the prevailing conditions.
By the evening, the weather began to settle somewhat, with surface winds increasing to an average of 4.3 mph and winds aloft at 100 meters rising to 7.3 mph. Cloud cover remained moderate at 40.3%, with low clouds comprising 23.8% and mid-level clouds at 30.3%, while high clouds had nearly dissipated to just 0.8%. The temperature cooled slightly to an average of 64.3°F. Throughout the evening, the conflicting wind patterns were still evident, as turbulence from the surface and the stronger winds above continued to create an intricate dance of clouds across the sky. The day concluded with a light sprinkle of rain, accumulating to 0.05 inches, which seemed to refresh the air and enhance the texture of the evening sky, leaving behind a tapestry of cloud layers gently illuminated by the fading light.
