Pacific NW mountain weather tutorial

 

Getting a more nuanced understanding of mountain weather patterns involves more than looking at a simplified icon on your phone’s weather app. What does that pesky “20% chance of precipitation” really mean? You don't need to become a PhD meteorologist to go climbing, but knowing how to find and interpret a few online weather resources can really help make sense of things.

I make zero claims to be an expert in the subject, but fortunately we can learn from those who are.

Seattle based climber and backcountry skier Kyle McCrohan wrote a terrific 3 part series of Pacific Northwest mountain weather on his website.
