It's cold, it's wet, but at least it's not snowing.
A large storm system that pelted pockets of Western New York with springtime snowflakes will linger around Albany this week. But it will only hit the Capital Region with scattered rain, the National Weather Service said.
The storm, which moved up the East Coast and crept toward Canada, brought 1 to 3 inches of rain to the Capital Region over the weekend, pushing what was an unseasonably dry April closer to normal, said Neil Stuart , a meteorologist with the weather service.
The heaviest rain wound down early Monday, Stuart said, adding that the Capital Region will see only erratic periods of light rain throughout the week. That scattered rainfall will total around 0.25 to 0.33 inches, Stuart said.
Before this weekend, Albany had recorded just 0.12 inches of rain in April.
High temperatures will remain about 5 to 10 degrees below normal this week, lingering in the low- to mid-50s, Stuart said.
"We're not going to see any increases in temperature until the clouds get out of the way," Stuart said.

Winter Wonderland . Yes, I know it was tough on the Crosstown, and 494 was a mess, and I-35 south of town was no treat, let me tell 'ya! When we talk about winter storms we use discriminatory words like "warning" and "threat" and "risk" - realizing the impact heavy snow has on our commutes and travel plans. And yet, every now and then I get a reminder of how spectacularly beautiful the snow is here in Minnesota. I love the first few hours after a snow - when it's still globbed onto the tree branches, when everything is coated in a magical blanket of white, like my entire neighborhood just got spray-painted by some crazy guy with a big firehose full of pure, white magic - a substance so rare (and amazing) that it can pull families together - snowball fight, building a snowman, heading off to the nearest ski hill together. I know we are guilty of erring on the side of treating snow as a "bad thing", driving is always top of mind. But for a guy with a couple of Polaris sleds, fresh snow is anything but bad. It's a blessing from on high, an excuse to forget about my honey-do list and hit the trails. Snow brings out my inner 6 year old. A hassle? Perhaps. On some level, yes. But I hope I never lose that sense of wonder... How Much Fell? When you come right down to it the region of plowable snow was fairly narrow, no more than 100-125 miles wide, with the heaviest amounts focused just south/west of the Twin Cities, where some 8-12" amounts were reported. No snow in Des Moines, Duluth or Bemidji, 5" at St. Cloud, roughly 3-4" northern suburbs (near Scandia) but close to 12" at Lakeville. Again, an 8" variation just across the Twin Cities metro area! Evolution Of A Clipper . Here is what NWS Doppler looked like as the clipper arrived yesterday, a STREAK of light to moderate snow racing toward the east-southeast at 30 mph, narrow bands of heavier snow setting up just south/west of MSP. Look carefully and you can see a "comma-shape" to the snowy swirl,...
