Sunrise Cloud Movement Over the Wildcats 10-27-09

We often see clouds like this rolling over the Northern Presidentials, driven by prevailing west and northwest winds. However, it is very rare to see the same thing happen over the Wildcat range, mostly because the wind direction necessary to move the clouds that direction is relatively rare. This footage was shot about an hour after sunrise.

Mount Washington Observatory is a nonprofit, membership-supported research and educational institution with a mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth's weather and climate. Since 1932, the Observatory has been observing Mount Washington's incredible extremes, conducting scientific research, educating the public about the science of weather and climate and amassing one of North America's longest and most unique climate records.
