A wet, unsettled period is ahead across much of the Mid-Atlantic. Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible today, followed by a sunnier Friday and Saturday in many areas. Temperatures will generally reach the upper 60s to mid-80s, with the warmer readings near Washington and Baltimore -- Massanutten and Liberty Mountain could approach the upper 80s today. Fog is locally dense this morning, especially around Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Snowshoe.
The weekend turns wetter, with showers likely or expected Sunday across most of the region, followed by additional shower chances Monday. Higher elevations should remain somewhat cooler, with Timberline, Canaan Valley Resort, and Wisp generally in the 60s and 70s, while lower-elevation areas stay warmer. Friday night brings the coolest and most comfortable conditions, with lows in the mid-40s to mid-50s in Pennsylvania and the Poconos, but southern and eastern areas remain milder.
