A wet, breezy stretch is ahead for much of Pennsylvania and the areas near Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Showers are likely through Sunday, with additional chances Monday, while temperatures generally remain in the upper 50s to mid-60s. The Pocono region looks particularly damp and windy, including Big Boulder, Camelback and Jack Frost, while Roundtop and Whitetail also face periods of rain.
The higher mountains should be cooler and somewhat less wet. Snowshoe, Timberline, Canaan Valley Resort and Wisp are forecast to stay mainly in the 50s Sunday and Monday, with overnight lows in the mid-40s to low 50s and some fog. Farther south, Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain should be notably drier, with mostly sunny conditions and lows near 40. Conditions turn warmer and brighter regionwide Tuesday and Wednesday, reaching the 70s at lower elevations.
