NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
220 PM EDT SAT OCT 17 2026
.DISCUSSION
MOST AREAS HAVE SEEN A HALF INCH TO INCH OF RAINFALL OVER THE PAST
FEW DAYS. ALTHOUGH SOME PARTS OF THE AREA ARE STILL IN D0
(ABNORMALLY DRY), MOST OF THE REGION HAS NO DROUGHT STATUS
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST US DROUGHT MONITOR. LOOKING AHEAD, A DRY
STRETCH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TODAY AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND, BUT THEY WILL TREND BACK TO NORMAL FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK.
THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK, RH VALUES WILL BE AS LOW AS 35
TO 45 PERCENT DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HOWEVER, THEY SHOULD
RECOVER ABOVE 80 PERCENT EACH NIGHT WITH DEW AND FROST FORMATION.
BREEZY WINDS THIS EVENING WILL BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT AND MAINLY
LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NORTHEAST WINDS
COULD GET LOCALLY BREEZY TOWARDS MID-WEEK FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN
AREAS, BUT THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF A NOR'EASTER.
