Siskiyou Summit is the highest point on Interstate 5, at 4,310 feet in the Siskiyou Mountains just north of the California line. It is the crossing that decides winter driving between Oregon and California, and traction requirements on the grade are common from November onwards.
Weather data from Oct 8, 2026 6:34 PM PDT
No full closures are reported on Siskiyou Summit as of Oct 8, 2026 6:34 PM PDT, and no lane closures or roadworks either. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.
Chain and traction requirements on Siskiyou Summit are set by the state highway authority, and they are imposed and lifted through the day as a storm moves through. This page does not carry them — check TripCheck ↗ before you set off. What the levels mean, with the exemptions and what you have to be carrying, is on the Oregon page.
What this page can tell you is the surface at the summit, from radar and surface analysis: currently dry, with the road surface estimated at 68°F. The road surface figure is an estimate derived from air temperature, not a measurement — bridges and overpasses run colder than the number shown.
At the summit, 4,310 ft. Each day shows its warmest and coldest hour, and the worst driving conditions forecast anywhere in it — not the average, because the hour that closes a pass is the one worth knowing about.
