A quiet, sunny stretch favors mountain visits through Tuesday, with cool nights in the 40s and 50s. The higher West Virginia and western Pennsylvania mountains will run cooler than areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, though the entire region warms sharply Wednesday and Thursday. Lower-elevation resorts could reach the mid-80s, while higher ridges generally remain in the 70s.
The weather turns more unsettled late Thursday into Friday, especially from the Allegheny mountains through the North Carolina high country, where showers and thunderstorms become more likely. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe face the best chance for wet conditions, while eastern Pennsylvania and the Washington-area resorts largely stay drier until Friday. Friday brings scattered showers or thunderstorms to much of the region, with occasional fog possible in the cooler mountain valleys.
