A damp, foggy period is affecting much of the region Sunday evening into Monday, with showers likely from the Poconos through Pennsylvania and the Washington-area resorts. Visibility is reduced in spots, and breezy conditions are adding to the unsettled feel at locations such as Big Boulder and Blue Mountain. Higher terrain stays cooler, with Monday highs only in the lower to mid-50s around Timberline, Canaan Valley Resort, and Snowshoe.
Conditions improve Tuesday, followed by a notably warmer and drier stretch through Thursday. Highs reach the upper 70s to mid-80s at lower-elevation areas including Bryce, Massanutten, Liberty Mountain, and Whitetail, while Snowshoe and Timberline remain several degrees cooler. Fog may linger in mountain valleys early Tuesday, and another chance of showers returns in parts of the region late Thursday into Friday.
