Mid-Atlantic Skiers' Forecast

Updated 1 hour ago

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.

Weather Fact of the Day
Snow crystals can become denser even when the snowpack never gets warm enough to melt. Under the weight of layers above, sharp branches gradually deform, fracture, and settle into smaller, more tightly packed grains -- a process called snow metamorphism. That is why fluffy new snow can turn into a noticeably firmer base within days, even during a dry, continuously freezing spell.
