Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
325 PM PDT Sun Sep 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A subtle trough will exit western Washington tonight
as upper level ridging starts the week dry. However a trough
moving to our north will influence the pattern Tuesday onward. A
more organized frontal system looks to arrive on Friday before
ridging rebounds over the weekend.

.IMPACTS...Strong winds in alpine regions on the mountain,
including the Muir snowfield, will make it difficult to move
safely and could produce local whiteout conditions. A high level
of skill and experience in alpine terrain, including use of GPS,
is recommended for navigation and camping in these conditions.
