Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
523 AM PDT Sat Oct 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An atmospheric river will continue to bring moderate
to heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the region into the weekend.

days. More rain likely to return late next week.

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.
