726 FXUS61 KALY 022313 AFDALY Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 713 PM EDT Tue Jun 2 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes to the forecast. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Dry conditions and temperature warming trend continues through the work week. 2) Confidence continues to increase for unsettled weather conditions this weekend across eastern New York and western New England. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... Surface high pressure continues to bring dry conditions across eastern New York and western New England through Friday. Afternoon high temperatures gradually warm this week with summertime-like heat returning Thursday and Friday. With the latest forecast dewpoint temperatures in the 40s and low 50s, humidity (mugginess) will not be a factor into how hot it will actually feel outside as it will feel like the actual air temperature. Confidence continues to increase for high temperatures this week in valley locations to reach into the upper 80s and low 90s while higher terrain locations stay in the 70s. Have multiple ways to stay cool, hydrated, and when working outdoors take frequent breaks. KEY MESSAGE 2... We continue to monitor the trends for this weekend as ensemble forecast model guidances are coming into good agreement for Saturday morning to start off dry. As a low pressure system develops to our north, we`ll continue to monitor the track as the latest forecast supports the low moving over the Great Lakes region bringing medium chances for precipitation Saturday afternoon into the overnight hours. For Sunday, confidence continues to increase for 50 to 75% chances for widespread precipitation throughout the day as the low pressure system could move over the Northeast. Based on forecast trends, we could see a few thunderstorms during the afternoon hours develop. However, the exact magnitude and location of development of them continues to fluctuate with latest guidance. Nevertheless, continue to monitor the latest forecasts as we get closer to the weekend. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
