The Mid-Atlantic starts with mild, mostly quiet mountain weather. Patchy fog is possible tonight and Wednesday morning, followed by partly sunny to sunny skies. Temperatures reach the upper 60s and 70s Wednesday, then warm further Thursday and Friday. Lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia will be hottest, with readings in the upper 70s to mid-80s and a few locations near 87 degrees Friday.
The weekend turns wetter, especially across the higher West Virginia mountains and southern Appalachians. Showers are likely from Friday night through Sunday at Canaan Valley Resort, Snowshoe, Timberline, and Winterplace, while the eastern resorts generally have lower shower chances and more breaks of sun Saturday. Cooler air arrives for the weekend, with highs mostly in the upper 50s and 60s in the mountains, but overnight fog and damp conditions could affect visibility and outdoor plans.
