Mohawk Valley Weekend Weather, Saturday, October 1, 2022

The remnants of post-tropical cyclone Ian will slowly track
northeast across the mid Atlantic region through the weekend,
while a large area of high pressure gradually builds southward
across southeast Canada. Some moisture approaching from the
south will result in some rain for areas south of Albany through
today. As high pressure get closer on Sunday, drier conditions
should prevail although it will be cool and breezy. Cool and
mainly dry weather expected through Monday, as low pressure
moves off the mid Atlantic coast and high pressure remains
anchored over southeast Canada.
A slight chance of rain after 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 63. Calm wind becoming northeast around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Tonight
Mostly cloudy, with a low around 46. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph.
