Albany’s Halloween starts with a crisp, mostly clear morning, but sunshine will make the afternoon much friendlier. Temperatures are expected to climb from the 30s to a high near 54 degrees Saturday, with northwest winds around 5 to 9 mph and no rain in the forecast.
Sunny Saturday Gives Way To A Cold Night
For trick-or-treaters, the comfortable part of the day will not last after sunset. Temperatures should slide through the 40s during the evening and reach about 30 overnight, with winds easing to 1 to 6 mph, according to the National Weather Service Albany office.
Sunday looks like the weekend’s warmer outdoor window, with sunny skies and a high near 61. The overnight low should fall to around 36, so early risers will still want a jacket even as the afternoon warms up.
Warm Stretch Builds Into Midweek
The mild pattern continues Monday through Wednesday, with highs near 64 Monday and Tuesday and around 67 Wednesday. Skies will range from mostly sunny to mostly cloudy, while rain chances stay minimal until a slight chance of showers arrives Wednesday night.
Rain Chances Increase Later Next Week
Thursday brings the first more noticeable wet-weather threat, with mostly cloudy skies, a high near 67 and a 50% chance of rain showers. Showers are likely Thursday night and could continue into Friday, when temperatures are expected to reach the mid-60s.
For Saturday plans, the forecast is simple: sunglasses and lighter layers for the afternoon, then a warmer coat once the sun goes down. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed in the current forecast.
