8/23/2024: Bright & beautiful
The latest Storm Tracker Forecast from meteorologist Matt Mackie:
After another cool start, high pressure rolling in from the west brings bright and beautiful weather these next couple days.
Temperatures rise to right around 80 in the Capital District, with highs in the low to mid 70's up in the higher terrain. A few more clouds may develop along with those warmer afternoon temperatures - but even then, we'll still be mostly sunny.
Tonight looks quiet, with most falling into the 50's again by daybreak Saturday. Some in the Adirondacks may briefly dip into the 40's.
Even warmer tomorrow with highs in the low 80's - even so, humidity is slow to rise. The result is a summery, balmy, comfortable afternoon. Great conditions for the running of the Travers Stakes up at Saratoga!
Maybe turning slightly muggy on Sunday, with more clouds developing late in the day. They will give way to widespread showers and storms on Monday.
Low end rain chances, Tuesday, slightly higher rain chances Wednesday, then most of us dry out by Thursday. Highs will be in the low 80's through this period.
