According to the National Weather Service in Albany, most of the region will stay dry through Tuesday with highs in the mid-70s and lows dropping into the 50s overnight. Humidity will remain low, making for a noticeably more comfortable start to the week. The best chance for rain arrives late Wednesday into Wednesday night, with scattered showers possible across the Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and western Massachusetts.
