Albany, NY – A sharp drop in temperatures is expected across eastern New York and western New England tonight, with lows falling into the 30s and low 40s, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Albany.
Forecasters said Tuesday night into Wednesday morning will bring widespread chilly conditions, with some Adirondack and Green Mountain communities dipping below freezing. Newcomb, NY, is forecast to reach 28 degrees, while Albany and Bennington are expected to bottom out at 39 degrees. Springfield, MA, is projected to see a low of 43.
According to NWS Albany, the cool overnight air will cover much of the region, including the Hudson Valley, Berkshires, and western Vermont. Areas such as Old Forge, Glens Falls, and Keene may experience temperatures in the low-to-mid 30s.
While no frost advisories have been issued, the weather service recommends residents prepare for unseasonably cold conditions by wearing extra layers if outdoors late tonight or early Wednesday morning. Sensitive plants may also need protection in colder valleys.
Daytime highs on Wednesday are expected to rebound into the 60s, providing a milder afternoon after the chilly overnight stretch.
This early taste of fall follows a stretch of mild late-summer weather and serves as a reminder that cooler nights are becoming more frequent across the Northeast.
