Albany is starting Sunday, November 1, with patchy stratocumulus near KALB and KPSF that should gradually dissipate toward daybreak, and temperatures near 31 degrees, but the afternoon will feel far more comfortable. Sunshine should push the high to about 60 degrees, with variable winds at 5 knots or less and no meaningful rain threat. It is a crisp morning followed by an easy day for errands, walks, and outdoor plans.

Warmth Builds Through Wednesday

The mild stretch continues Monday through Wednesday, with highs of 64, 65, and 69 degrees, respectively. Skies will range from mostly sunny to partly sunny, while overnight lows gradually rise from the mid-30s Sunday night to the upper 40s Tuesday night. According to the National Weather Service in Albany, generally dry conditions are expected through Wednesday.

Rain Takes Over Late Week

The pattern changes Thursday, when a 50% chance of rain arrives after 7 a.m. and clouds settle in over the Capital Region. Rain is likely Thursday night and Friday, with highs still reaching the mid-to-upper 60s before temperatures ease back. Saturday also carries a 50% chance of rain, making the second half of the week a much wetter proposition than the sunny start.

No Advisories Listed

No watches, warnings, or advisories are listed for the area. For the best shot at dry weather, plan outdoor time Sunday through Wednesday and keep an umbrella close by beginning Thursday morning.
