The next few days look warm and generally quiet across the Mid-Atlantic mountain region. Patchy fog is possible tonight and Wednesday morning, followed by partial clearing. Temperatures rise into the 70s Wednesday and Thursday, with the lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia reaching the upper 70s or lower 80s. The warmest conditions arrive Friday, when areas around Liberty Mountain, Whitetail, and Massanutten may reach the mid to upper 80s.
A wetter pattern develops late Friday and especially Saturday, with showers likely across the higher West Virginia mountains, including Canaan Valley Resort, Snowshoe, Timberline, and Wisp. Those areas will also be noticeably cooler, with Saturday highs mostly in the upper 50s and 60s, while eastern Pennsylvania and the Washington-area hills remain closer to the upper 60s or 70s. Additional shower chances linger into Sunday, with no extended dry stretch apparent.
