Rain and low visibility are affecting much of the region this evening, with especially poor conditions around Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp, where dense fog and 15-mph winds are reported. Showers taper Monday as skies gradually improve, though the higher West Virginia mountains remain cooler, with highs near the upper 50s to lower 60s.
A warm, mostly sunny stretch arrives Tuesday and Wednesday. Areas near Washington and the Shenandoah Valley will be notably warmer, reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s at Massanutten, Liberty Mountain, and Bryce, while the higher mountains generally stay in the 60s and lower 70s. Showers become more widespread again from Wednesday night through Friday, with breezy conditions possible at times. Conditions are best for outdoor visits Tuesday and Wednesday, but fog and wet weather remain concerns in the highest terrain.
