A warm, humid Thursday will bring showers and scattered thunderstorms across much of the region, with temperatures reaching the upper 70s to upper 80s. Lower-elevation areas near Washington and Philadelphia will be hottest, including Massanutten at 89 degrees and Bryce at 88. Fog is locally dense this morning, especially around Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Snowshoe, and Tussey Mountain, so travel and mountain visibility may be poor.
Friday offers the best break, with sunshine or partial sunshine and cooler temperatures, followed by a notably cooler night -- lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s are expected across the Pocono and northern Pennsylvania mountains. However, unsettled weather returns Saturday night through Monday, with recurring showers regionwide. The higher West Virginia mountains, including Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp, stay cooler but remain vulnerable to fog and wet conditions, while southern and eastern areas turn warmer again Sunday.
