AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
225 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain in place across the region through at
least the middle of next week, providing dry conditions along
with generally comfortable humidity levels. After one more
relatively cool night tonight, the air mass will warm Sunday
into early next week, with temperatures warming back to above
normal levels.

.DISCUSSION...
As of 225 PM EDT, pleasant day continues with mostly sunny
skies and comfortable temps/humidity levels. Another relatively
cool night ahead tonight, though might be a bit warmer than the
last 2 nights across the southern Adirondacks where a light
breeze persists and PWAT`s increase a bit. Still expect lows in
the 40s in the southern Adirondacks, and upper 40s to mid/upper
50s elsewhere. Some patchy fog will be possible once again later
tonight, especially areas adjacent to rivers/creeks.

Mostly sunny skies and a gradual warming trend occurs Sunday
into Tuesday. A weak backdoor cold front could trigger an
isolated shower/thunderstorm across some higher terrain areas of
the southern Adirondacks and southern Greens/Berkshires Monday-
Tuesday afternoons, however confidence is too low at this time
to include in current forecast. Increasing mid level capping may
prevent convection from occurring.

Although forecast high temps reach 85-90 in some valley areas by
Monday-Tuesday, dewpoints look to remain moderate, generally in
the lower/mid 60s, keeping heat indices mainly below 90.

A frontal system may bring an uptick in shower/thunderstorm
chances for Thursday, though this is a low probability. Above
normal temperatures look to continue through late next week,
along with a gradual increase in humidity levels.
