A warm, mostly dry stretch arrives Tuesday through Wednesday, with sunny skies and highs generally in the upper 60s to lower 80s. Lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia will be warmest, reaching the mid 80s by Thursday and Friday, while higher terrain such as Beech Mountain and Snowshoe stays several degrees cooler. Morning fog is possible in the valleys and southern mountains.
Showers and thunderstorms become more likely Thursday into Saturday, especially across the higher-elevation West Virginia mountains. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe face the wettest pattern, with showers likely Thursday night and Friday. Elsewhere, rain chances are more scattered, though storms could affect Friday plans from the southern mountains into Pennsylvania. Expect occasional breezes in the higher terrain, but no prolonged severe weather signal appears in this forecast.
