A damp, foggy start is affecting the higher terrain, especially around Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe, where visibility is sharply reduced and drizzle or sprinkles are present. Conditions improve Tuesday, though patchy fog may linger into the morning. Elsewhere, including the eastern mountains and areas nearer Philadelphia and Washington, skies gradually clear with highs mainly in the upper 60s and 70s.
The warmest stretch arrives Wednesday through Friday, with many lower-elevation areas reaching the upper 70s or 80s. Mountain locations remain somewhat cooler, including Snowshoe and Beech Mountain, but nights turn mild, generally in the 50s and 60s. Showers become more likely late Friday into Saturday, particularly across western Pennsylvania, the higher West Virginia mountains, and southern areas. Overall, the best visiting weather appears Tuesday through Friday, aside from morning fog and the late-week shower risk.
