Best Hiking Window
Early Thursday morning offers the narrowest viable window — showers should taper and winds briefly moderate before a powerful low-pressure system arrives Thursday afternoon and evening. Plan a very early start to summit and descend well before midday Thursday. Avoid being on the mountain Thursday afternoon or evening entirely due to thunderstorm and damaging wind risk. Friday may offer improving conditions as the storm clears and winds diminish, but persistent drizzle and lingering fog are expected.
