Albany woke Thursday, October 22, to clear skies and temperatures around 36 degrees, but the morning chill will give way to a sunny afternoon near 62. No rain is expected, though a north wind will make exposed spots feel brisker as the day warms.

Sunshine Arrives With A Breezier Afternoon

Temperatures should climb through the 40s by late morning and reach the upper 50s during the early afternoon before topping out near 62. North winds of 5 to 8 mph will become more noticeable later in the day, with occasional gusts around 25 mph possible, according to the National Weather Service in Albany.

Frosty Nights Are The Bigger Story

Mostly clear skies Thursday night will send temperatures down to about 33 degrees. Friday stays sunny but cooler, with a high near 55, followed by a notably cold night near 29 degrees. Saturday brings more sunshine and a high around 58, but temperatures will again hover near 30 overnight.

Dry Weekend Gives Way To A Mild Monday

Sunday should be sunny and milder near 61, while Monday could reach 65 under sunny skies. The dry pattern continues Tuesday and Wednesday, with mostly sunny or partly sunny conditions and highs in the mid-50s; rain chances remain minimal through the middle of next week.
