Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
247 PM PDT Thu Oct 15 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and dry conditions continue into tomorrow, with low to mid
70s at lower elevations of the park. Winds will be elevated at
altitudes of 10,000 feet and higher toward the summit through the
beginning of the week as a series of weak fronts move through the
area. Only light rain is expected as none of the systems look
particularly strong.  

&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds near the summit 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.

&&

.THURSDAY NIGHT...Mostly clear. Freezing level near 14500 feet. 
.FRIDAY...Mostly sunny. Freezing level near 14000 feet. 
.FRIDAY NIGHT...Partly cloudy. A chance of rain and snow after
midnight. Snow level near 9000 feet. 
.SATURDAY...Mostly cloudy with rain and snow in the morning, then
partly sunny with a slight chance of rain in the afternoon. Snow
level near 7500 feet.
