We’re still in that weird weather pattern that has the Southeast divided up as if it was a national weather map showing the difference between MAINE’S weather and Florida ! Typically we don’t see such a huge difference in temps from Wisp in Maryland, Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia and the highest elevations east of the Mississippi which is in Western North Carolina . However lately that has not been the case and that pattern continues today as snow and colder air is showing up across West Virginia and into Maryland . At least the temps are cold further South into Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina …but the skies are sunny and clear! Here’s some featured forecasts for the region.
We’ll start with CANAAN VALLEY AND TIMBERLINE RESORT IN WEST VIRGINIA. Some people have asked us about the pronunciation of that popular resort. Some pronounce it like the Bible region such as kay-nan. However it is actually pronounced kuh-nain. Anyway, on to the weather. Canaan and Timberline Resorts will both see some light snow today through noon or so and then gradually become sunny. Highs will be near freezing all day and drop to around 15° tonight. Sunday will be mostly sunny and cold with a high near 35° or so and a low Sunday night near 22°. Monday offers a chance of snow showers and a high in the mid 30s. The low Monday night should be near 20°. Tuesday will remain cold and partly cloudy with a high near 38° and a low near 19°. Things begin to mild up a bit with each day past Tuesday. By Friday they could be looking at a high very close to 60°.

NC MOUNTAINS – It’s VERY cold this morning across the region. Beech Mountain is reporting in with 13° this morning. Blowing Rock is showing 20°, Cataloochee is about the same. That made it such that all of the ski areas that wanted to make snow – could! All except Wolf Laurel did so.
