Questions

How do we know if Mount Rainier is visible?

We read the cloud ceilings at the airports between Seattle and the summit, the cloud layers at the summit from the MET Norway model, and whether that cloud sits below 14,410 ft. No crowd reports.

Why only three days?

Cloud forecasts stop being useful after about three days. A ten-day visibility forecast is a calendar with random numbers on it.

Why does the Eastside get a different answer than Seattle?

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.

Limitations

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.
