Mount Rainier Recreational Forecast
National Weather Service Seattle WA
402 AM PST Sat Dec 27 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Persistent snow showers will continue over the Cascades before 
tapering off by afternoon. High pressure begins to build over the 
area this weekend, drying conditions out but allowing for colder 
overnight temperatures and likely fog development each morning 
into early next week. A return to a more typical pattern of 
lowland rain and mountain snow is expected late in the upcoming 
week.

&&

.IMPACTS...Stormy weather through Saturday night will create 
difficult mountaineering conditions near the summit, with local 
blizzard- like conditions, strong winds, and near zero visibility.
A high level of skill and experience in alpine terrain, including
use of GPS, is recommended for navigation and camping in these 
conditions.
