Albany, NY – Cooler air moves into New York this week, offering residents a break from the recent summer heat. High temperatures will remain in the upper 70s to low 80s through Wednesday, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 50s across the state. These cooler, dry conditions are expected to last through the beginning of the week, giving residents a much-needed respite from scorching temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, NY, dry weather will prevail through Wednesday, with no significant chances for precipitation. However, this relief will be short-lived. By Thursday, temperatures will begin climbing back into the 90s, accompanied by increased humidity. As a result, the heat index could push “feels-like” temperatures to uncomfortable levels, particularly towards the end of the week.
Locally, Albany and surrounding cities like Amsterdam and Catskill will see pleasant, mild conditions early in the week, with highs ranging from 76°F to 80°F. As temperatures rise toward Friday, the region will experience heat index values above 90°F, prompting increased caution for outdoor activities.
Residents should prepare for warmer conditions by Thursday, ensuring hydration and limiting time outdoors. Those with outdoor plans should stay informed about any potential heat advisories.
Next Steps: Stay tuned for further updates as this heat wave develops, with more warnings likely as temperatures approach 90°F by the end of the week.
