Capital Region Forecast: Warmer than normal weather returns
today is Tuesday): It’s warmer than usual today with temperatures rising into the 70s in most areas. Although there are more clouds than yesterday, the humidity remains low, so the warmth is comfortable (dew points are well below the 40s). Breezes blow from the south at 10 to 15 mph before shifting and coming from the west in the afternoon. Confidence: high
Tonight: The sky is clear and the weather is breezy and cool. Low temperatures should range from the low to mid 40s in our cooler areas to the lower 50s in the city. Winds blow from the north at 5 to 10 knots per hour. Confidence: high

tomorrow is Wednesday): Temperatures are dropping behind a cold front, but partly sunny skies are some consolation. Highs range from the upper 50s to mid 60s. The wind will be northeasterly, light, at a speed of 5 to 10 knots. Confidence: medium-high
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy with lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s. Confidence: medium-high
Thursday It features another bout of warmer winds with highs reaching the 70s. Some sites can reach 80 (the area record is 79 since 1994). Humidity will be slightly higher than Tuesday, but still relatively low by summer standards. There is a slight chance of rain, but we should mainly stay dry. Thursday night brings cloudy skies with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Chances of light showers increase late at night. Confidence: medium-high
Friday It is our wettest day of the week with cloudy skies with highs hovering in the 50s. Rainfall rather than constant rain is expected, so we should see some dry spells rather than washouts. Friday night could feature a few light showers in the evening as skies remain mostly cloudy and lows reach the mid 30s in our cooler areas to near 40 degrees in the city with breezy conditions. Confidence: average
the weekend It offers cooler weather, but the clouds should clear Saturday morning with skies turning partly sunny for most of both days. Highs are in the lower 50s in our western and northwest suburbs and closer to the mid 50s around the city and pointing to the east and south. Saturday night will be mostly clear and cooler, with low temperatures hovering in the 30s, except near 40 degrees in the city. Confidence: average
