The Mid-Atlantic stays unseasonably warm through Wednesday, with sunny conditions and highs mainly in the 70s -- and lower elevations near Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and the Shenandoah Valley may reach the upper 70s or lower 80s. Expect patchy fog early, especially around Bear Creek, Winterplace, and other humid valleys.
Showers become more widespread Thursday into Friday, with the wettest weather favoring the higher West Virginia and western Pennsylvania mountains, including Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Seven Springs. A sharp cool-down arrives Friday night and Saturday, when gusty winds and mountain temperatures in the 30s and 40s will make for a raw, unsettled visit. Saturday should turn mostly sunny, but breezy conditions will remain an issue at exposed summits.
