So far this month, we have had more days in the 60s (two) than days in the 90s (one). Once we get into the weekend, we can use the Inspector Clouseau line, "Not any-murr." We have a string of 90s on the way beginning Thursday and lasting into early next week.
With that will come more humidity and shots of showers and thunderstorms. You know, summer.
Backing up though, can I interest you in a warm, sunny, calm day? That's what we have underway.
Today
It's a gorgeous start to the day. Temperatures are cool in higher elevations as usual, with some low and middle 40s around. The rest of the area is sitting in the upper 40s to the middle 50s. Have no fear, we'll be warming up fast this morning.
Clouds will be at a premium if you can even find one. Wind will be pretty much nonexistent as temperatures climb well into the 70s by lunchtime in the valleys. Into the afternoon, highs will range from the upper 70s to the upper 80s. And for one more day, the humidity will be a non-factor.
It will be clear and comfortable tonight, with temperatures about 5 degrees higher than last night and this morning. Lows will range from about 50 to a few low 60s.
Thursday
Summer will start to show up. Humidity will slowly continue to climb through the day with dewpoints reaching the low 60s by around dinnertime. It'll also begin a 5-day stretch that sees more temperatures in the 90s than not in Albany, like four out of five. High clouds will spill in from the south and there may even be an isolated shower or storm over the eastern Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley but most if not all of us will not see a drop of rain. Highs will top out in the 80s to 90 with lows overnight holding in the upper 50s to the middle 60s.
Friday and the weekend
Humidity continues to build each day. A few widely scattered storms will be around Friday afternoon, typical summertime deal. Nothing severe, just isolated ones with a quick shot of heavy rain. Friday may not quite hit 90 but it'll be close, and it will feel like it anyway as humidity continues to settle in.
A few scattered storms will be with us this weekend, with Sunday having a bit more coverage than Saturday.
It's important to note that many areas will not see any rain from Friday through Sunday, but equally important to understand that if you have outdoor plans, you have to be ready in case one or two decide to stop by.
Both days will otherwise be hazy, hot and humid with highs in the 80s and low 90s. Sunday does look to be slightly warmer than Saturday and will likely be our warmest day of the year so far.
Next week
We turn to a more unsettled pattern where everyone will have a better shot at some needed rain. That said, remember what I just said about Sunday being the warmest day of the year? That looks to only stand for a day, as Monday may be even hotter with the possibility of a few mid-90s in the hottest spots. We'll also have scattered showers and storms here and there as we get into the afternoon.
As far as more widespread showers and storms go, Tuesday is looking to be the day. I'll be keeping an eye on the severe potential in the coming days, but regardless, we'll have what looks to be our first decent shot of rain across the area in some time. It's been a dry six weeks or so.
From there, we look to lose the humidity and tame the temperatures a little bit as we get into mid-week.
