Higher-elevation West Virginia is seeing the only notable wintry weather, with heavy snow fog and very limited visibility at Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp. Tonight brings chances for rain and snow there, while Snowshoe and Winterplace may see isolated snow showers. Any additional natural accumulation should be limited, but the colder mountains could preserve existing conditions better than lower elevations.
The rest of the region turns increasingly mild and dry, with sunny skies and highs reaching the 50s Tuesday and mostly 60s Wednesday through Friday. Overnight lows in the 20s and lower 30s early in the week offer potential snowmaking windows, especially at higher elevations, but warming afternoons will quickly erode them. Areas closer to Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia will be notably warmer, with highs near 60 to 65 degrees by midweek. Overall, natural snow prospects are poor after tonight, and the extended stretch of warmth will challenge snow surfaces.
