Like the arteries that supply blood to the heart -- the coronary arteries -- the carotid arteries can also develop atherosclerosis or âhardening of the arteriesâ on the inside of the vessels. Over time, the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol narrows the carotid arteries.
NPS/Steve Redman. Weather patterns at Mount Rainier are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean, elevation, and latitude. The climate is generally cool and rainy, with summer highs in the 60s and 70s. While July and August are the sunniest months of the year, rain is possible any day, and very likely in spring, fall, and winter.
In autumn  temperatures range from mid/high 60s during day to low 40s at night. There is a good chance of rain in late autumn early winter. In winter- temperatures range from mid/high 40s to low 50s during day to mid 30s at night. The winter months bring on wonderful winter storms along the Oregon Coast.
