Looking west at showers over Franconia Ridge yesterday. While showers have held off thus far today, we are expecting showers and thunderstorms this evening into tomorrow as the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal move northward and a cold front slowly descends from our north.

In today’s #ObserverBlog, hear from Senior Meteorologist Ryan Knapp (@WXKnapper) as he recaps June 2025 and the 2024/2025 snowfall season, which ended on June 30.

Happy 90th, @NHStateParks! We are honored to celebrate our 25th Seek the Peak Anniversary alongside “The Year of New Hampshire State Parks.” For more information and to learn about fun activations, like an interactive scavenger hunt, visit 🌲

A cap cloud forms when moist air is forced up over a mountain, cools, and condenses into a smooth-looking, often stationary cloud that sits over the peak. By the end of the video, fog can be seen mixing back down to the summit.

The summit of Mount Washington was in the clouds for the majority of this morning, except for a brief 15 minute window, which, in this 30-second timelapse, revealed a cap cloud overhead.

'Cause kitty, you're a firework. Nimbus hopes everyone enjoyed their Independence Day! Unfortunately, the summit was in the clouds last night, so we were unable to spot any fireworks down below. Good thing Nimbus kept us entertained anyways!
