AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
327 PM EDT Sat May 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Cool, cloudy, and periods of light rain continues through tomorrow.
Memorial day is still on track to be partly to mostly cloudy
with seasonal temperatures returning for a pleasant day in
store. Dry and warmer conditions continue into Tuesday with
increasing chances for rain showers returning for midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A mix of sun and clouds continue across eastern New York and
western New England this afternoon. Pop up light rain showers
continue to move from a northwest to southeast direction today.
These showers are wrapping around our upper level low that`s
overhead for this weekend bringing these chances for light
precipitation amounts (between a trace and a tenth of an inch)
and cloudy conditions. Latest surface observations are showing
temperatures ranging in the 50s and even a few spots in the low
60s as of this afternoon. We continue to see lingering light
rain showers tonight with patchy fog in southern Vermont and the
southern Adirondacks as we are in an unsettled weather
pattern. Temperatures overnight should range in the 40s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
The upper level low continues to move north and east tomorrow and
Monday bringing breezy conditions and scattered rain showers (30-
40%) through early Monday afternoon when chances for precipitation
lower to less than 20 percent. Light precipitation amounts are
expected between a trace to a tenth of an inch with showers.
Otherwise, cloudy and calmer (winds less than 10 mph) conditions are
in store for Monday. Surface high pressure begins to build in for
Monday night to our west helping diminish shower activity for the
evening hours bringing dry conditions for the overnight hours.

The good news is that temperatures are finally warming up with highs
tomorrow in the 60s and for Monday in the 70s, except for higher
terrain locations which should range in the 50s and 60s. Low
temperatures range in the 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Dry conditions for eastern New York and western New England
Tuesday through Wednesday morning as surface high pressure
briefly returns giving us a small break in the precipitation
chances during this timeframe. Late Wednesday afternoon into the
overnight hours is when chances (15 to 30 percent) for
precipitation returns. Daily precipitation chances (50%)
continue through the end of next week as our upper level
atmosphere pattern returns unsettled and dreary end to the month
of May. However, surface temperatures are favored by latest
ensemble forecast model guidances to remain seasonal with highs
ranging in the 60s and 70s. Low temperatures also remain
seasonal in the 50s with higher terrain locations in the 40s.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 18z/Sun...An upper level low will continue to slowly
shift eastward through Sunday. Moist, cyclonic flow across the
region will maintain low VFR cigs at KALB/KGFL/KPOU and MVFR
cigs at KPSF through 18z/Sun along with diurnally driven rain
showers. Any additional reductions to cigs and vsbys within
showers should be brief. West to west-northwesterly wind through
