.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

A cold front approaching from SE Canada will push southeast
across the area during the afternoon to early evening hours. A
few light showers may occur in the W. Adirondacks, otherwise the
front will pass through dry with just increasing mid level
clouds. Ahead of the front, temperatures expected to warm into
the mid to upper 60s in valley areas. Winds will shift to the
northwest late in the day, with gusts of 15-20 mph developing,
with a few gusts to 25 mph. A colder air mass will filter in
tonight into Wednesday with below normal temperatures. Another
large area of high pressure will build SE from Canada, providing
continued dry conditions. The high shifts south/east of our
region Wed night into Thu, with a milder S/SW flow developing.
This will allow temperatures to warm back to above normal
levels. Another moisture-starved cold front is expected to pass
through Thu night into Fri, which may bring a few light showers
to areas well north/west of Albany. Yet another area of high
pressure looks to build in over the upcoming weekend bringing
tranquil weather, although temperatures are expected to remain
slightly above normal.
