The half an inch to inch of rain that moved through last night and early this morning is now gone in the wake of a cold front. The storm system that dragged the cold front through early this morning is intensifying to the north and east of us, which will cause the wind to blow pretty hard at times today. The cooler and somewhat drier air mass that is being blown in now should allow some breaks of sun to develop, especially during the midday and afternoon hours. However, there will be a surface trof of low pressure and a strong upper level disturbance moving into the area later today and tonight. This will create quite a few clouds and keep the threat for a shower or two going through tonight, especially north and west of Albany. Temperatures today started off very mild well into the 50s, but have fallen back into the upper 40s to around 50 now and will likely hover there for the midday, before dropping into mid to upper 40s by dinner time this evening.

Thankfully, though, yet another area of high pressure will slide in from the southwest and provide us with a pretty nice weekend! I believe Saturday will start off a little cloudy thanks to some lake clouds, but I do believe we will clear it out some to kick off the weekend. High pressure will crest over the region on Sunday which should lead to plenty of sun. Temperatures over the weekend should top out within a few degrees of 50.

Early next week will likely look and eventually feel more like November with lots of clouds, some rain, patchy drizzle and fog, as a storm moves up the eastern seaboard. Right now Tuesday and Wednesday look quiet and pretty gray, but good for traveling around the northeast. Thanksgiving and "Black Friday" MAY get kind of interesting and wintry.

Well, after 3 days of nothing but blue sky and sun it will change today. Again though, let me remind everyone that this month is climatologically one of, if not, the cloudiest month of the year, but that definitely has not been the case this November!

The reason for all the great weather as of late is a strong high pressure system that unfortunately is beginning to weaken and drift off the eastern seaboard. This will finally allow the storm system that has been hanging out in the midwest the last few days to move into our neighborhood. The result will be an increase in cloud cover during the day today, and there's even a slight risk for a spotty shower or two Albany southbound late in the day. As the storm and it's occluded/cold front move into and through the area late tonight into Friday morning we will see some rain. The good news concerning this storm is that it will be progressive and should allow us to break out into at least breaks of sun for the midday and much of the afternoon hours tomorrow. It will turn brisk during our Friday with temperatures dropping out of the 50s and into the 40s during the afternoon.

Thankfully, though, yet another area of high pressure will slide in from the southwest and provide us with a pretty nice weekend! Both Saturday and Sunday will feature some sun and temperatures within a few degrees of 50, which is slightly above average for this time of year.

Early next week will likely feel and look more like November with lots of clouds, some rain, patchy drizzle and fog, as a nor'easter moves up the eastern seaboard.

Well, guess what!? We have another great looking day on tap for this 18th day of November. Let me remind everyone that this is one of, if not, the cloudiest month of the year, but we will continue to have more sunny days than not between now and the end of this upcoming weekend!

The reason for the great weather between now and later Thursday is an area of strong high pressure located right on top of us today. This high pressure system will keep us essentially cloudless through the start of tomorrow, before it begins to lose it's grip on the region and give way to a Midwest storm system. So after a nice day today and another frosty night tonight, we will see the abundant sunshine be replaced by an increase in cloud cover Thursday afternoon. The weakening storm across the Midwest will not only increase our clouds tomorrow, but may even bring a shower or two to the region by late in the day. Tomorrow night into Friday the likelihood of some wet weather will increase greatly, as the storm and it's cold front slowly into and through the area. The good news with this storm is that it looks as though it will move through fairly quickly and allow us to possibly clear a bit later Friday, but especially so over the weekend!

High pressure will try to save our upcoming weekend weather and should provide some sun for both Saturday and especially Sunday. On Saturday there will be brisk winds and still the threat of a passing shower/sprinkle, especially north and west of Albany due to a bit of lake effect off Ontario. Sunday looks to be the better of the two days with more sun and fairly seasonable temperatures again.

Early next week may turn Novemberish with lots of clouds, some rain, drizzle and fog, as a nor'easter moves up the eastern seaboard.
