The Mid-Atlantic starts with damp, foggy conditions in several mountain areas, especially the higher West Virginia and western Maryland terrain. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp may see very poor visibility tonight into Tuesday morning, with patchy drizzle in spots. Conditions improve Tuesday afternoon, followed by generally dry, sunny weather Wednesday through Thursday.
A warming trend peaks Friday, when lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia reach the upper 70s to mid-80s. The higher mountains remain cooler, with Snowshoe topping out near 70 degrees and Beech Mountain near the upper 60s. Showers become more likely late Friday into Saturday, particularly across western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and the southern mountains, including Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, and Wintergreen.
