After a foggy, drizzly day yesterday, we'll be out of the gloominess for today.

The day will be breezy and chilly at the start with a westerly breeze and temperatures similar to yesterday's at this time, mid 20s to low 30s.

For the rest of the day, temperatures will rise about 10 degrees or so for afternoon highs in the mid-30s to low 40s with a fair amount of sunshine.

TOMORROW

While this morning and yesterday morning are copies of one another, tomorrow will venture out on its own with snow falling just in time for the morning commute.

Clouds will return and thicken tonight. Light snow moves in overnight, falling more steadily and heavily to the north of Albany before daybreak.

Temperatures will be rising from south to north, with that "north" being in the vicinity of the Twin Bridges into southern Saratoga County.

This will have the snow mixing with sleet and changing over to rain south of the bridges. Snow should continue to fall to the north of that line as the morning drive proceeds. The precipitation should wind down as the commute ends though patchy drizzle and light snow could keep falling until 10 a.m.

Snow amounts will range from a slushy inch or 2 in the immediate Capital Region down the Hudson Valley with 3 to 4 inches in higher spots. We're looking at 4 to 5 inches from the Rensselaer Plateau to the Green Mountains in Vermont. Similar amounts should accumulate in the northern Mohawk Valley and southern Adirondack Mountains.

Clouds will stay place into the afternoon with a little clearing later on. Highs will top out in the upper 20s to the upper 30s. Then, the bigger cold shows up.

FRIDAY

Temperatures Thursday night into Friday morning will bottom out in the single digits and teens, and will not rise much from there for Friday's highs. It'll be breezy but not too windy, keeping it feeling colder with lower wind chills. At least we'll have a decent amount of sunshine.

Wind comes down later Friday under mostly clear skies, which will bring our coldest night of the winter.

Temperatures will be well below zero north of the Twin Bridges, and dipping a little below zero in Albany for the first (and perhaps only) time this winter.

LOOKING AHEAD

After that cold start to Saturday, we'll keep the sun in place with highs a few ticks higher than Friday. The moderation in temperatures continues into Sunday with some areas flirting with 40 degrees along with more clouds and widely scattered showers.

Getting into the new work week (Presidents' Week), things look to stay the same as they have all winter: milder-than-average temperatures with a few rain and snow showers. I'll be updating your ski forecast, too.

Have a great day!
