Right now, the trails are in decent shape, with most areas reporting dry conditions, especially on popular routes like those to Mt. Moosilauke and Mt. Garfield. Visibility is generally good, but expect some fog in the mornings and scattered showers, particularly in the higher elevations where gusty winds from the west will also be a factor. Temperatures are mild, ranging from the mid-50s to low 70s, but be prepared for cooler air as you gain elevation. As we move into the weekend, the weather will take a turn with increasing chances of thunderstorms and rain, especially on Saturday and Sunday, so be ready for a more challenging environment. Temperatures will dip slightly, and winds are expected to pick up, particularly on Mt. Washington. Make sure to keep an eye on the forecast, as the conditions could turn from pleasant to hazardous quickly, particularly in the higher elevations where storms can develop rapidly. For your hikes, layers are essential; dress in moisture-wicking base layers and bring a warm, waterproof jacket to handle the wind and rain. Don't forget your gaiters to keep debris and water out of your boots, and consider traction devices if you plan to navigate rocky or slippery sections. Be cautious on peaks like Mt. Washington and Mt. Adams, where the combination of wind and storms can create treacherous conditions; it might be best to avoid these areas altogether during peak storm times. Always check the latest reports before you head out, as conditions can change quickly in the Whites.
