Albany, NY – Much of eastern New York will see a sharp drop in temperatures tonight, with lows falling into the teens and 20s across the region. According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Albany office, the coldest pockets are expected overnight, with the potential for light snow near the I-84 corridor through sunrise Wednesday.
According to forecasters, areas north and west of Albany—including Newcomb, Old Forge, Watertown, and Herkimer—will dip into the teens, while most of the Capital Region, Mohawk Valley, and Hudson Valley will see lows between 22 and 28 degrees. Albany is projected to reach 25°F, while Poughkeepsie may drop to around 28°F.
The NWS added that a few spotty snow showers remain possible late tonight into early Wednesday morning, especially from Poughkeepsie eastward toward Connecticut and along the I-84 stretch. Any snow is expected to stay light, but forecasters caution that isolated slick spots may form before the morning commute.
Widespread cold will continue into Wednesday, though temperatures are forecast to rebound slightly during the afternoon. The overnight chill follows a stretch of milder fall weather across New York and signals the first more widespread cold outbreak of the week.
Residents are encouraged to dress in layers, bring pets indoors, and allow a few extra minutes of travel time Wednesday morning if driving through the Hudson Valley or along I-84.
