Albany, NY – Residents in Albany and surrounding areas can expect mostly sunny skies today, though a noticeable haze is likely as wildfire smoke drifts in from Canada. After a cool morning, temperatures are forecasted to return to seasonal averages this afternoon, offering a dry and pleasant day for outdoor activities.
According to the US National Weather Service Albany NY, the region will see some haze throughout the day due to the presence of wildfire smoke in the upper atmosphere. Mountain areas are expected to experience highs in the 70s, while valleys will warm to the lower and mid-80s. The hazy conditions may cause reduced visibility at times, though no air quality alerts have been issued at this time.
Meteorologists note that this weather pattern follows a recent stretch of cooler weather, and today’s warming trend should bring relief to those seeking more typical summer conditions. The National Weather Service advises residents to remain aware of changing visibility on the roads and to monitor updates should smoke concentrations increase later in the week.
Those with respiratory conditions are encouraged to limit strenuous outdoor activity if haze becomes more pronounced, especially during peak afternoon hours. Forecasters say that skies should remain mostly clear outside of the wildfire smoke, and no precipitation is expected through the evening.
