A wet, breezy start is expected across much of the Mid-Atlantic, with showers or rain today and lingering showers tonight into Monday. Conditions are especially unsettled near the Poconos and northeastern Pennsylvania, where fog and reduced visibility are also possible. Lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg should turn milder quickly, with highs generally reaching the upper 60s to mid-70s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
The higher West Virginia mountains will stay cooler, with Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp mostly in the 50s Monday before a gradual warmup. Snowshoe also remains notably cooler, with highs in the lower 50s Monday and upper 60s by Wednesday. Elsewhere, clearing and dry weather arrive after Monday, followed by a warm stretch that peaks Thursday -- readings may reach the upper 70s or lower 80s near eastern and southern resorts. Fog remains possible in the mountain valleys, especially overnight and early Tuesday.
