Mid-Atlantic Skiers' Forecast
A wet, unsettled pattern arrives Thursday, with rain and temperatures in the 50s across lower elevations. The colder higher terrain has a better chance for a meaningful changeover: Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain could see rain and snow, while Snowshoe trends to snow Thursday night through Saturday. Farther north, the Poconos and Laurel Mountain also have rain/snow chances, but lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia are more likely to stay wet.
Colder air settles in Friday and Saturday, with highs mostly in the 30s at the favored mountain locations and overnight lows in the 20s. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Seven Springs retain recurring snow-showers chances, though no substantial accumulation is specified. The colder nights offer potential snowmaking temperatures at many resorts, especially Friday night onward, but milder weekend afternoons and Thursday’s rain will work against conditions at lower elevations. Expect blustery periods on the highest ridges, particularly around Beech Mountain and Snowshoe.
