This is a quiet, dry stretch across the Mid-Atlantic, with no natural snow or mixed precipitation in the forecast. Lower-elevation areas near the major population centers warm well into the 60s, with Monday and Thursday reaching the upper 60s around Bear Creek, Blue Mountain, and Liberty Mountain. Overnight lows are mostly in the 30s and 40s, offering only brief, marginal snowmaking temperatures early in the period before daytime warmth takes over.
The higher mountains stay noticeably cooler, especially Snowshoe, Beech Mountain, and Sugar Mountain, where highs generally remain in the 50s to near 60. Canaan Valley Resort, Timberline, and Wisp also run cooler than eastern Pennsylvania and the Washington-area resorts, though their forecast is still dry and mostly too warm for sustained snowmaking. Frost and patchy fog are possible in sheltered valleys, but overall this is a mild, uneventful weather pattern for skiing.
