Fog is likely in the higher terrain and some valleys early, including Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Wintergreen. Lower elevations near Washington and Baltimore will be warmer, reaching the upper 70s at Liberty Mountain and Whitetail.
Conditions turn wetter Saturday night through Sunday, with showers and periods of heavy rain most likely from the Poconos through eastern Pennsylvania and the Washington-area resorts.

A cooler, unsettled pattern follows Monday through Wednesday, with highs mainly in the 50s and 60s and nighttime lows dropping into the 40s in the higher elevations.
