Albany, NY — A cold air mass is keeping temperatures below normal across eastern New York today before a storm system brings rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds late Sunday into Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, cold and brisk conditions will remain in place across eastern New York and western New England through tonight. Daytime highs Saturday are expected to remain mostly in the 30s and low 40s across the region.
Forecasters say temperatures should moderate closer to seasonal levels on Sunday, with highs climbing into the 40s and 50s in many areas.
That brief warmup will precede an approaching storm system expected to move into the region Sunday night and continue through Monday.
The National Weather Service said the system could bring periods of rain, a few thunderstorms and gusty winds as it moves across eastern New York and surrounding areas. While widespread severe weather was not indicated in the update, the combination of rain and wind could create wet roads and reduced visibility for overnight and early Monday commuters.
Students and young workers traveling late Sunday or early Monday could encounter changing weather conditions during the start of the workweek.
Following the storm’s passage, colder air is expected to return to the region.
According to the National Weather Service, below-normal temperatures are likely Tuesday through the middle of the week, with scattered flurries or snow showers possible as the colder air settles back into the Northeast.
Forecasters say residents should monitor updated forecasts through the weekend as timing and rainfall coverage become clearer.
