The next several days bring mild, mostly sunny mountain weather across the Mid-Atlantic. Thursday through Saturday should feature highs generally in the 60s and lower 70s, with cooler conditions at higher elevations such as Snowshoe, Timberline and Canaan Valley Resort. Overnight lows mostly in the 40s and 50s will make mornings comfortable, though breezy conditions are possible in exposed areas.
A wetter pattern arrives Saturday night into Sunday, with showers likely across much of the region and additional showers possible Monday. The higher West Virginia mountains, including Snowshoe, Timberline and Wisp, trend notably cooler, with Sunday highs in the mid- to upper 50s or lower 60s. Areas closer to Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia should remain warmer, often near 70 degrees, but also face the same weekend rain threat.
