A wet, unsettled pattern will dominate the Mid-Atlantic through much of the coming week. Showers are likely Sunday, with a few thunderstorms possible, followed by additional rain chances Monday through Thursday. Higher-elevation western areas, including Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp, look particularly damp, with frequent showers and occasional fog.
The eastern mountains should see a somewhat drier break Monday and Wednesday, though showers remain possible. Temperatures peak near 80 degrees Sunday around Liberty Mountain, Massanutten, and Winterplace, while the higher western terrain turns notably cooler by midweek, with highs near 50 to 55 degrees at Timberline, Wisp, and Wintergreen. Breezy conditions may develop Tuesday night into Wednesday, especially across the Alleghenies and southern mountains.
