Binghamton, N.Y. – Residents across New York’s Southern Tier should prepare for an early taste of fall tonight, with temperatures dipping into the 30s in colder valleys and frost possible by sunrise Wednesday. Drivers in low-lying areas, especially along Interstate 81 near Binghamton, could see patchy frost forming on windshields and bridges.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, overnight lows will fall into the upper 30s, with some sheltered valleys reaching the mid-30s. This could be cold enough for frost to develop in rural sections of Broome, Tioga, and Susquehanna Counties. Officials advise residents to protect sensitive plants and allow extra time for morning commutes in case of frost on vehicles.
Despite the chilly nights, daytime conditions will stay mild and pleasant. Highs Wednesday and Thursday are expected to reach the mid-to-upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. Winds will remain calm, making for comfortable afternoons.
Looking toward the weekend, dry weather continues with sunshine dominating through Friday. By Saturday and Sunday, clouds return but temperatures remain steady in the low-to-mid 70s. No hazardous weather is expected beyond tonight’s brief frost risk, and spotter activation is not anticipated.
Residents can enjoy the warm afternoons but should stay alert for cool overnight dips this week. Protecting gardens, monitoring outdoor pets, and preparing vehicles for early morning frost will be key.
