Binghamton, NY – Scattered severe thunderstorms may threaten parts of New York and Pennsylvania on Sunday, with damaging winds, hail, and locally heavy rainfall expected from Binghamton to Scranton and beyond.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, a cold front will push through the region Sunday, bringing scattered showers and storms. Some of these storms may turn strong to severe, especially across the Southern Tier of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania, including areas like Oneonta, Monticello, and Wilkes-Barre.
Primary hazards include damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning, hail, and the potential for flash flooding, particularly where heavy downpours occur. The greatest risk is expected in areas marked as “Risk Level 2,” which includes Binghamton and surrounding communities. Roads such as I-81 and NY-17 could see hazardous conditions during heavier storms.
Residents are urged to monitor weather alerts, secure loose outdoor objects, and avoid travel during severe storms. Prepare for power outages by charging devices and having flashlights ready. Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas—never drive through flooded roadways.
The timing and severity of the front remain uncertain, and more advisories could be issued as the situation develops. Stay tuned for updates, as warnings may remain in effect through late Sunday night.
