A damp pattern affects the southern and central mountains into Sunday, with showers, patchy fog and reduced visibility especially around Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Wintergreen and The Homestead. Rain is also likely near Liberty Mountain, Roundtop and Whitetail, while the Pocono and northern Pennsylvania areas face a lesser chance of showers. Sunday highs range from the upper 50s in the higher terrain to the mid-60s farther east and south.
Conditions improve Monday, followed by a mostly sunny stretch through Thursday. The coolest nights arrive Monday and Tuesday, with lows in the mid-30s to lower 40s in the higher mountains, including Timberline, Canaan Valley Resort and Seven Springs. Lower elevations stay milder, with Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons generally in the upper 50s to upper 60s, warming into the upper 60s and lower 70s by Thursday. Expect pleasant mountain weather after Sunday, though early-day fog may linger in sheltered valleys.
