Back To School: New York’s Capital Region

Today starts out dry with mostly sunny skies. Clouds increase this afternoon as a slow moving cold front brings the next chance for a few scattered showers and thunderstorms later today and into the evening. Some storms may be on the stronger side, with the main concerns being strong wind gusts, hail, and heavy downpours. It will be hot and humid otherwise with highs in the upper 80s to near 90.

Another low pressure system moves over the Great Lakes bringing a better opportunity for afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Friday. It’ll be mostly cloudy otherwise with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. As of right now the system appears to gradually depart the region Saturday afternoon and could dry us out just in time for the running of the Belmont.

Have a great day!
