Albany, N.Y. – Travelers across upstate New York may encounter scattered light showers today, particularly north of I-90, as a cloudy, cooler pattern settles in across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, skies will stay mostly overcast through Thursday with only brief breaks of afternoon sun. Rain chances range between 20–40%, with areas north of the interstate seeing the highest risk for light precipitation. High temperatures will remain subdued, topping out between 65 and 72 degrees.
Communities from Glens Falls to Saratoga Springs should prepare for damp conditions that could slow morning commutes, though significant rainfall totals are not expected. Temperatures tonight will dip into the upper 50s, with continued cloud cover keeping the air feeling humid and muggy.
While roads are not anticipated to flood, drivers should remain cautious on rural routes where visibility and traction may briefly decline during isolated showers. Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and limit unnecessary travel northward until skies begin to clear.
A gradual drying trend is possible Friday, but unsettled conditions could return this weekend. Additional advisories may be issued if rain chances increase.
