Albany, N.Y. – After nearly a week of steady rainfall, eastern New York and western New England are finally getting a dry and sunny break today, with afternoon highs expected to reach the upper 60s to upper 70s.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, the region will enjoy dry and pleasant conditions through Monday, with valley areas warming into the mid to upper 70s and higher terrain topping out in the upper 60s to low 70s. The last measurable rainfall fell across much of the area late Sunday, marking the end of a soggy stretch that brought localized flooding and saturated soils.
Cities like Saratoga Springs, Poughkeepsie, and Bennington can expect sunny skies and calm winds — a welcome change for commuters and those cleaning up from the wet weather. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the drier ground but remain cautious near streams and low-lying areas, where runoff may still linger.
While today offers a clear window, unsettled weather could return midweek. Residents should monitor local updates for any changing conditions.
