A warm, generally pleasant start gives way to a wetter pattern late in the week. Tuesday and Wednesday bring sunshine and highs mainly in the upper 60s to lower 80s, with the warmer readings near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia -- Bryce, Liberty Mountain, and Massanutten could reach the lower to mid-80s Wednesday. Fog is possible overnight and early Tuesday, especially in the valleys.
Showers become more widespread from Wednesday night through Friday, with the wettest stretch likely across western Pennsylvania and the higher West Virginia mountains. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe also turn breezy, with Snowshoe dropping to 32 F Friday night and Saturday staying windy and cool. Eastern areas should see a sharper change as well, including the Poconos, where Big Boulder and Jack Frost fall into the mid-30s Friday night before a breezy Saturday.
