Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
245 PM PST Sat Nov 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Cooler and drier weather is in store for the majority of the
week as high pressure settles into the area. Some weak
disturbances may drop into the region on the edge of the ridge
but it won`t amount to meaningful precipitation accumulation
except at higher elevations. A stronger system may approach the
region late next week.


&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds in alpine regions on the mountain,
including the Muir snowfield, 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.

&&

.SATURDAY NIGHT...Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain and
snow in the evening, then partly cloudy after midnight. Snow
level near 3000 feet. Freezing level near 2500 feet after
midnight.
.SUNDAY...Sunny. Freezing level near 2000 feet increasing to
4500 feet in the afternoon.
.SUNDAY NIGHT...Partly cloudy. Freezing level near 6000 feet.
.MONDAY...Partly sunny. A slight chance of snow in the morning,
then a chance of rain and snow in the afternoon. Snow level near
