The Latest Storm Tracker Forecast from Meteorologists Matt Mackie and Kevin Appleby:
High pressure will build again across Eastern New York and Western New England, yielding another mostly fabulous stretch of weather through the weekend. A cold front will bring a band of showers overnight Friday into very early Saturday morning. A more potent cold front is forecast to swing through the region early next week, bringing our first true, sustained shot of October-like temperatures this season!
Areas north and west of Albany saw some clearing overnight, but the lack of wind and a bit of moisture left over from yesterday’s front has led to some patchy dense fog. Capital Region-south and east, meanwhile, kept the clouds overnight, allowing for a milder, fogless start to the day. Any fog or widespread cloud cover will dissipate by mid morning, allowing for mostly sunny skies for the remainder of the daytime. Temperatures will peak in the low to mid 70s in most areas.
A cool, crisp night is ahead for all, with another chance for patchy dense fog by daybreak. Low temperatures will drop into the 40s to near 50 degrees, which is still warmer than average for this time of year.
