Albany, NY – A quiet and breezy start to the week across eastern New York will give way to a wetter pattern by midweek, with the steadiest rain expected late Wednesday into Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, Monday brings dry conditions with highs in the 50s and 60s and lows dipping into the 40s and 50s overnight. Winds will remain breezy at times, especially in higher elevations.
Rain chances begin increasing Tuesday night, with scattered showers becoming more widespread by Wednesday. By Thursday, a stronger system is expected to bring more consistent rainfall across the region. Forecasters say the heaviest totals are likely in the Adirondacks and the western Mohawk Valley, where periods of steady rain could impact travel.
Temperatures through midweek will remain seasonable, with daytime highs generally in the 50s and 60s before cooler air settles in behind the system late week. Overnight lows will trend downward into the 30s and 40s by Thursday night.
Commuters should plan for changing conditions, especially during the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning drive times, when wet roads and reduced visibility could slow travel. No severe weather is expected at this time, but localized ponding on roadways is possible in areas of heavier rainfall.
Residents across Albany County, the Capital Region, and surrounding areas should monitor updates as the system approaches.
