Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
400 AM PDT Tue Oct 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry and warmer conditions will continue across western
Washington for one more day today ahead of a pattern change.
Troughing will resume over the Pacific Northwest through the
remainder of the week and into the weekend, bringing much cooler
temperatures, cloudy skies, and periods of light showers. Chances
for more widespread precipitation increase into the weekend, with
the Cascades likely seeing accumulating snowfall over higher
elevations.

difficult to move safely and could produce local whiteout

terrain, including use of GPS, is recommended for navigation and
camping in these conditions.
