The Mid-Atlantic remains warm and dry for skiing, with sunny weather dominating through Thursday and no natural snow or mixed precipitation in the forecast. Highs will generally reach the upper 50s to upper 60s, with some lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia approaching 70. The eastern resorts, including Bear Creek and Liberty Mountain, will be especially mild Monday and Thursday.
Colder nights offer only limited early-season snowmaking potential. The Poconos, including Big Boulder, Jack Frost and Shawnee Mountain, dip to around 30 degrees Tuesday night, while several other areas reach the mid to upper 30s. Higher West Virginia terrain is not markedly colder in this forecast -- Snowshoe, Timberline and Canaan Valley Resort stay mostly in the 40s overnight. Overall, this is a quiet, mild period with little weather support for ski operations beyond isolated overnight windows.
