#NebraskaWeather #OmahaWeather #CloudTimelapse #Asperitas #AtmosphericDynamics June 25–26 (Night → Day 1) 00:00 — After sunset: instability builds, castellanus drift overhead glowing in urban light 02:08 — Dawn erupts — storms on the horizon ignite the sky in red and orange 02:34 — Asperitas roll in with light rain and distant thunder 03:15 — Strange mixed formations intermingle with more asperitas 04:13 — Occasional blue‑sky windows break through the gloom 04:30 — Rippling clouds continue through afternoon and evening June 26–27 (Night → Day 2) 07:00 — Overnight: low‑level wind reverses — westerly becomes southeasterly by sunrise 08:10 — Bright orange sun burns through briefly 08:45 — Thick clouds blanket the sky from the east 09:56 — Afternoon clearing: blue sky with cirrus from the northeast 10:14 — Rolling capped cumulus race from the southeast 11:00 — Low layer thickens again before sunset 11:30 — Brief clearing, then mackerel skies spread overhead 12:10 — More thick low/mid‑level clouds return with intermittent breaks June 27–28 (Night → Day 3) 13:56 — Day opens under persistent thick low clouds 14:48 — Brief breaks resemble a cool overcast San Francisco summer day 17:32 — Clouds finally clear toward sunset 17:55 — Cirrus from the west flash gold in the evening light 18:15 — Strong south/southeasterly low‑cloud flow races across the sky 19:49 — Late night humidity increases — instability hints return June 28–29 (Night → Day 4) 19:54 — Sunrise glows rosy pink 20:30 — High ice crystals form a halo around the sun 21:12 — Mostly clear day with scattered cumulus humilis popping in and out 23:52 — Cloudy stretch ends under a clean sunset A four‑day sequence defined by instability, shifting wind regimes, and layered cloud evolution. From castellanus glowing in city light to asperitas rolling overhead, from wind reversals to mackerel skies, from thick low decks to cirrus halos — this stretch showcases boundary‑layer transitions, wave dynamics, cirrus development, and late‑June instability across Omaha.
