Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
205 AM PST Wed Dec 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong atmospheric system will continue to bring periods of
heavy rain and gusty winds to western Washington through
Wednesday. Widespread significant river flooding is underway
and will continue through the week. Minor coastal flooding due
to astronomical high tides will also pose concerns for the
northern Salish Sea coastlines through much of the week. Wet and
unsettled conditions will continue into early next week.

&&

.IMPACTS...Stormy weather will create difficult backcountry
skiing and mountaineering conditions across much of the alpine
terrain of Mt. Rainier, including the Muir snowfield. Blizzard-
like conditions with strong winds and near zero visibility are
likely. A high level of skill and experience in alpine terrain,
including use of GPS, is recommended for navigation and camping in
these conditions.
