Albany, NY – A frost advisory is in effect tonight across portions of the southwest Adirondacks as cooler temperatures take hold this Labor Day. Residents are urged to take precautions, particularly for sensitive plants and outdoor activities, as temperatures are expected to dip into the low 30s in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, Monday will see a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures struggling to reach the low 70s by afternoon. The real concern, however, begins tonight as clear skies will cause temperatures to plummet, bringing the first frost of the season to areas like Newcomb and Old Forge. This advisory is active from midnight through 9 a.m. Tuesday.
For the rest of the week, Albany will experience unseasonably cool nights, with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s through Wednesday. Daytime temperatures will remain mild, climbing into the mid-70s by midweek. Residents should be prepared for this cooler pattern to continue, with a slight warm-up by Friday. However, rain is likely on Saturday, with temperatures remaining in the low 60s.
If you have outdoor plans or sensitive vegetation, it’s essential to take action now to protect them from the cold. Stay tuned to local weather updates and ensure you’re prepared for the chilly nights ahead.
