ALBANY, N.Y. – The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Frost Advisory for much of eastern New York, including the Capital District, Mid-Hudson Valley, and southern Taconics. The advisory is in effect from 10 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday, with temperatures expected to dip to near 32°F.
Cold air settling into the region will create ideal conditions for frost formation, especially in rural and low-lying areas. Residents along I-87 and I-90 should be alert for slick spots on bridges early Saturday morning, though major travel issues are not expected. Sensitive outdoor plants and late-season gardens could suffer frost damage if left uncovered. Homeowners are urged to cover tender vegetation, bring potted plants indoors, and disconnect garden hoses to prevent freeze damage.
After a chilly start Saturday, sunshine returns with highs near 62°F and light winds—perfect for fall outings, pumpkin patch visits, and leaf-peeping across the Hudson Valley. By Sunday, temperatures rebound into the lower 70s as mild air returns from the south.
Early next week brings a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, but no major weather disruptions. The pattern stays comfortably cool through midweek, offering ideal conditions for outdoor fall events as Halloween draws closer. Frost advisories may return late next week, so residents should stay prepared for more crisp mornings ahead.
