Albany is starting Monday under cloudy skies with temperatures around 45 degrees, and a few rain showers are expected through the morning. The city should reach a high near 54 degrees before conditions turn drier and partly sunny later in the afternoon.
Showers are most likely from the morning through early afternoon, with the chance of rain falling sharply after 2 p.m. Rainfall should be light, with new amounts generally staying below a tenth of an inch.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
West winds will strengthen through the day, reaching 6 to 14 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph. The breezier conditions could make the afternoon feel cooler than the thermometer suggests, especially after the showers move out.
Monday night will remain mostly cloudy with a low near 39 degrees. Tuesday brings another mostly cloudy day, but it will be milder, with a high near 59 and only a slight chance of rain.
How Monday Compares With Climate Normals
According to National Weather Service Albany, the November 9 climate normals are a high of 52 degrees and a low of 34. Monday’s forecast high of 54 is 2 degrees above the normal high, while the forecast low of 39 is 5 degrees above the normal low. Those climate-normal figures cover temperatures, not rain chances, so they do not show whether Monday’s expected showers are typical.
Rain Returns Later This Week
Veterans Day should be partly sunny with a high near 57 degrees, followed by a cooler turn. A chance of rain arrives Thursday, with rain likely Thursday night and Friday as temperatures fall to a high near 46 degrees Friday.
Friday night could be particularly chilly, with a low around 31 degrees, while Saturday stays mostly cloudy with a chance of light rain. No weather alerts are in effect for Albany.
