A warm start gives way to a cooler, unsettled weekend across the Mid-Atlantic. Friday highs reach the low to upper 80s near Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, with showers developing later in many areas. Saturday and Sunday turn noticeably cooler, but showers remain common, especially across the higher West Virginia and southern Appalachian mountains. Snowshoe, Sugar Mountain and Wintergreen could see periods of reduced visibility and damp conditions, while eastern resorts get more breaks of sunshine.
The higher terrain stays cooler throughout: Snowshoe and Timberline hold in the mid-50s to low 60s this weekend, compared with upper 60s around Bear Creek and Spring Mountain. Conditions improve Monday and Tuesday, with partly to mostly sunny skies and cooler nights. Lows fall into the mid-30s to low 40s at many higher-elevation locations Monday night, with frost possible around Timberline, Canaan Valley Resort and Seven Springs.
