Albany is starting Sunday with patchy fog and temperatures near freezing, but the gray opening act should give way to bright sunshine and a high near 62. Winds will stay light from the south, making for a comfortable fall afternoon once the morning chill lifts.

Sunny Sunday Brings A Comfortable Afternoon

Sunny skies will dominate Sunday, with no rain expected and temperatures climbing through the 40s and 50s before reaching the low 60s during the afternoon. The National Weather Service in Albany expects mostly clear conditions Sunday night, with a low around 34 and calm winds.

Monday Peaks Before Tuesday Turns Sharply Colder

Monday looks like the warmest day in the near-term forecast, with sunny skies and a high near 66. The pattern then flips colder: Tuesday will still be sunny but reach only about 54, and Tuesday night could drop to around 27.

The latest outlook continues the dry, sunny stretch Hoodline covered earlier this week, while sharpening the chill for midweek. Wednesday should rebound to a mostly sunny 58, giving Albany a brief reset before another mild finish to the week.

Halloween Weekend Stays Mild And Mostly Dry

Thursday is forecast to be mostly sunny, with mostly dry conditions and a small chance of rain after midnight. Friday remains mostly sunny near 66, and Saturday should reach about 65 with mostly sunny skies for Halloween plans.

No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the area in the forecast. For outdoor plans, the practical split is simple: layers for chilly mornings, sunglasses for sunny afternoons and a warmer blanket ready for Tuesday night.
