Every day gets its best daylight reading from Portland: out, partly, or hidden. The table is the count so far. It grows by one row a day and starts thin.
Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Mount Baker, Mount St. Helens, Denali, The Olympics and Mount Angeles. Visible now or not, the five-day forecast, and the sunrise and sunset light. $1.99, one time.
The live page reads the airport cloud ceilings between Portland and the summit every fifteen minutes. A day's entry is the best of those daylight readings, so one clear hour counts the day as out. Nights are ignored. Smoke and haze count against it the same way they do on the live page.
$1.99, one time. No account needed. No ads in the app.
We read the cloud ceilings at the airports between Portland and the summit, the cloud layers at the summit from the MET Norway model, and whether that cloud sits below 8,363 ft. No crowd reports.
Cloud forecasts get less reliable the further out they go. Days four and five are drawn in six-hour steps for that reason, and the forecast stops at five.
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.
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.
