Mid-Atlantic Skiers' Forecast

Updated an hour ago

A wet, breezy weekend is ahead for much of the eastern Mid-Atlantic. Rain becomes likely Saturday and continues through Sunday at areas including Bear Creek, Camelback, and Spring Mountain, with additional showers possible Monday. Conditions should be damp and occasionally windy, especially near Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and the Poconos.

The higher mountains offer a notably better outlook. Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain stay sunny through Monday with cool overnight lows near 40, while Snowshoe and Winterplace also see mostly dry weather and comfortable mountain temperatures. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp turn cloudier with a few showers Sunday into Monday, but the rain signal is weaker than farther east. Drier weather and some sunshine return regionwide by Tuesday and Wednesday, with warming temperatures.

Weather Fact of the Day
Weather balloons remain one of forecasting’s most valuable tools: twice each day, radiosondes rise through the atmosphere measuring temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind from the ground into the stratosphere. Those vertical profiles reveal details satellites cannot measure directly -- including the layers that determine whether an approaching Appalachian storm produces rain, sleet, or snow.
