Mid-Atlantic Skiers' Forecast
The Mid-Atlantic is heading into a sunny, very mild stretch with no natural snow or mixed precipitation in the forecast. Lower-elevation areas near the major population centers will reach the upper 60s to mid-70s Monday through Friday, including Bear Creek, Liberty Mountain, and Blue Mountain. That warmth will be unfavorable for snow conditions and will sharply limit snowmaking prospects during the daytime.
The higher mountains will be cooler but still mild. Snowshoe and Beech Mountain should generally stay in the 50s and lower 60s, while Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp reach the lower to middle 60s. Overnight lows mostly in the 30s and 40s offer only brief, marginal snowmaking temperatures -- with the best opportunities toward the Pocono region, where some nights dip into the lower 30s. Morning fog is possible in the higher valleys, but otherwise the week looks dry and operationally uneventful.
