National Weather Service Seattle WA
255 AM PDT Mon Oct 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will maintain a warming and drying trend
across western Washington to start off the week. Troughing will
develop over the region by Wednesday, introducing cloudy skies and
chances for light shower activity that will continue through the
remainder of the week. Another trough will move over the region
over the weekend, bringing cooler temperatures, chances for
widespread precipitation, and light snow over higher elevations of
the Cascades.

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.
