Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
344 AM PDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A upper level ridge offshore will continue to build
into the region through Friday. The ridge will shift east of the
area on Saturday. An upper level trough moving into British
Columbia on Sunday will produce cloudier and cooler conditions along
with a chance of showers. Weak upper level ridging will bring a
modest warming trend and generally dry conditions for much of the
area early next week.

&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds at and above 10,000 feet on Saturday 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.
