NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY

.DISCUSSION...

No fire weather concerns over the next seven days. Light showers
will start to rotate from west to east into the region today ahead

range in the 45 to 75 percent range with north-northeast winds
turning breezy, especially from the Capital District south and
east where gusts reach up to 30-50mph. Steady rain arrives
tonight and continues through Sunday night as a Nor`easter
tracks/stalls off the NJ coast. Showers linger into Monday before
drier weather returns Tuesday into the middle of next week.
