Albany, NY – Residents across Upstate New York face a cool, breezy start to the workweek Monday, November 9, as scattered to numerous rain showers move through the region and wind gusts potentially reach 35 mph before conditions gradually improve during the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service NWS in Albany, an upper level atmospheric disturbance is bringing widespread cloud cover, periods of rain and brisk west to northwest winds across eastern and central New York, with impacts extending into neighboring portions of Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The greatest concentration of showers is expected north of the mid Hudson Valley, particularly across the Adirondacks and surrounding communities.
Wind Gusts Could Reach 35 MPH Forecasters expect west to northwest winds to strengthen throughout the day, producing gusts between 20 and 35 mph.
These conditions could make outdoor activities uncomfortable and create additional challenges for drivers of high profile vehicles on exposed roadways.
Temperatures will remain near to slightly below seasonal averages.
Albany and Glens Falls are forecast to reach approximately 54 degrees, while Cobleskill could see highs near 49 degrees.
Farther north, Old Forge is expected to reach just 43 degrees, with Newcomb near 45 degrees.
Syracuse could reach 52 degrees, while Watertown climbs to approximately 51 degrees.
When Will the Rain End? The NWS expects showers to gradually diminish by early to midafternoon Monday as the upper level disturbance moves away from the region.
Communities north of the mid Hudson Valley may experience more persistent rainfall during the morning and early afternoon.
Farther south, Poughkeepsie could reach 56 degrees, while portions of the Hudson Valley experience somewhat milder conditions.
What Residents Should Expect Drivers should remain alert for wet pavement, reduced visibility during showers and occasional strong crosswinds.
Residents planning outdoor activities should prepare for breezy conditions and temperatures generally in the 40s and 50s.
Although showers should decrease later Monday, gusty winds may continue to make conditions feel cooler than the actual air temperature.
