Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
420 AM PST Thu Nov 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Active conditions continue across the region through the end of

higher elevation mountain snow, though no significant impacts
are forecast. Better chances for drier conditions early next
week, with high confidence in cooler temperatures both for the
afternoon highs and morning lows.

.IMPACTS...Strong winds in alpine regions on the mountain,
including the Muir snowfield, will make it difficult to move

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