Weekend Forecast • Albany, New York (12201): • Weekend weather includes: • Friday: 66 degrees F with showers • Saturday: 68 degrees F partly cloudy • Sunday: 73 degrees F partly cloudy • Austin, Texas (73301): • Weekend weather includes: • Friday: 83 degrees F with scattered t-storms • Saturday: 82 degrees F with scattered t-storms • Sunday: 83 degrees F with scattered t-storms

  14. Which is Better? • I would rather visit Albany, New York this weekend. Austin, Texas is predicted to have a higher temperature for the weekend than Albany, New York. However, Austin is also supposed to receive scattered thunderstorms throughout the entire weekend. Albany, NY is going to have partly cloudy weather on Saturday and Sunday with temperatures that require only a sweater or light jacket. I would rather tolerate a lower temperature than deal with thunderstorms for a whole weekend.

  15. What to bring? • On my trip to Albany, NY, I intend to pack; • Three pair of jeans • One pair of flip flops • One pair of tennis shoes • Two sweaters • One jacket • Two t-shirts • An umbrella (for Friday)
