Albany, N.Y. – Drivers in the Capital Region should prepare for reduced visibility early Tuesday as patchy fog develops across Albany and surrounding areas. Commuters along I-90 and I-87 could face slowdowns before sunrise, especially in low-lying valleys where fog tends to linger.

According to the National Weather Service in Albany, fog is likely to form after 3 a.m. Tuesday and persist until 8 a.m. Conditions will improve by midmorning, with skies turning mostly sunny and highs reaching near 82 degrees. Calm winds should help keep travel manageable once fog lifts.
Tuesday night remains partly cloudy, with overnight lows near 57 degrees. The midweek pattern brings milder air, with highs in the upper 70s by Wednesday and slightly cooler evenings. Clear skies should dominate much of the week, giving the Capital Region several days of classic fall weather.
