The Mid-Atlantic starts damp and foggy, especially in the higher western mountains. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp are dealing with heavy drizzle, dense fog, and very poor visibility, with some improvement Tuesday. Elsewhere, patchy fog and clouds give way to clearing, followed by a generally dry and pleasant Wednesday and Thursday.
A warming trend peaks Friday, when lower-elevation areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia reach the upper 70s to mid-80s. Mountain locations remain somewhat cooler, with Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain topping out near the upper 60s to low 70s. Showers become more likely Friday night into Saturday, particularly around Hidden Valley, Seven Springs, and the southern mountains. Visitors should watch for reduced visibility early in the week and wet trails or roads late in the week.
