Mt. Madison
Updated Mar 24, 12:16 AM
Conditions Summary
Current conditions on Mt. Madison are extremely cold, with summit temperatures ranging from 7°F to 16°F over the next few days, accompanied by strong winds (15-50 mph) and wind chills as low as -11°F. Light snow is expected intermittently, with potential for icy and snow-covered trails. Visibility may be limited below the summit due to undercast conditions, but clear views are possible above the clouds. Hikers should be prepared for rapidly changing weather, high winds, and extreme cold. Recommendation: Proceed only if well-prepared with winter gear, traction, and navigation tools.
