Albany, NY – A stretch of clear skies and warm temperatures will give the Capital Region its best weather day of the week Friday, with sunshine and highs near 88°F ahead of a weekend heat surge.
According to the National Weather Service, calm winds and low humidity will make Friday an ideal day for outdoor plans across Albany, Troy, and Rensselaer. Conditions shift Saturday as highs push into the low 90s, bringing hotter afternoons and increased discomfort, especially for those without air conditioning.
