The next several days look mostly sunny and dry across the Mid-Atlantic, with cool, comfortable nights before a substantial warm-up. Higher-elevation areas such as Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe should see overnight lows mainly in the 40s and 50s, while lower areas near Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia climb into the upper 70s and 80s by Wednesday and Thursday.
Showers become more likely late Thursday into Friday, especially across the western mountains. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, Wisp, and Snowshoe have the greatest risk for wet weather, while eastern Pennsylvania and the lower elevations should remain drier longer. Friday brings additional shower or thunderstorm chances from the southern Appalachians through Virginia, including Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Wintergreen, and Winterplace. Expect generally favorable mountain weather early, followed by warmer, more unsettled conditions late in the period.
