Little Tahoma access, Summerland

[robertjoy]

I am hoping to climb Little Tahoma June 19-21, but am pondering the low snow level this year, post holing on pack-in and climb, most especially 67% cloud cover and lowering snow level predicted.

(I would rather avoid glacier travel inside a cloud.) Should I re-sched to mid July?

Anyone with knowlege of most current conditions on Rainier or Little Tahoma?

Marginal weather if you do not like clouds. But it doesn't look like really nasty weather either. No freezing rain above 9k or high winds.
