Couldn’t say storms are *not* a concern at that time of year, but neither does it storm every afternoon in the peak season. Plan your hike the way you want to plan it, and you can make a call on the day regarding afternoon weather for a pass crossing.?

I’m planning our SOBO trip from Aug 23-Sept 15. The wisdom says that one’d better climb over passes in the morning. I understand that this strategy is for taking advantage of better snow conditions in the morning and avoiding afternoon storms. However this strategy also makes my daily itinerary planning less flexible, like always camping before a pass (at least for big ones).?
Do you think in our hiking window of 8/23-9/15, afternoon storms still a concern (I know snow should be out of the equation by that time)?
I had experience of climbing over Forester in a late June day, but that was a dry year.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Happy trails!
Jingbo?
