The mountain is due south of Port Angeles, so you look at its north face, which is in shade most of the day. Near the summer solstice the sun rises at about 54° and sets at about 306°, far enough north to light the peaks at both ends of the day. Near the winter solstice it rises at 126° and sets at 234°, and only the tops catch color.

Three-day forecast and the light

The clear windows in the next three days, and the sunrise and sunset light on the summit, are in the app. $1.99, one time.

Questions

How do we know if Mount Angeles is visible?

We read the cloud ceilings at the airports between Port Angeles and the summit, the cloud layers at the summit from the MET Norway model, and whether that cloud sits below 6,454 ft. No crowd reports.

Why only three days?

Cloud forecasts are not reliable past about three days, so the forecast stops there.

Why does Sequim get a different answer than Port Angeles?

Different weather stations, different sky. The same morning can be fog in one and clear in the other, twenty miles apart. Each region page reads its own stations.

What it can get wrong

Wildfire smoke and haze can hide the mountain on a day the cloud numbers say clear. When the numbers are unsure, the page says so.
