Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
318 AM PDT Thu Oct 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...An upper low remains in place off the Pacific coast
for the next few days, allowing for periodic rounds of
precipitation and cool conditions across Mount Rainier National
Park. As a disturbance crosses the region into the weekend,
expect steadier precipitation chances and even cooler
temperatures, with snow levels lowering below Paradise late in the
weekend through early next week.

&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds near the summit through Thursday night
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.

&&

.THURSDAY...Mostly cloudy. Rain and snow likely in the morning,
then a slight chance of rain and snow in the afternoon. No snow
accumulation near Paradise. Snow level near 8500 feet.
.THURSDAY NIGHT...Mostly cloudy. A slight chance of rain and snow
in the evening, then a chance of rain and snow after midnight.

level near 7500 feet.
