New York – A biting wind cuts across parking lots in Binghamton this morning as temperatures sit near 25 degrees, with wind chills in the teens. Sidewalks remain dry for now, but the air feels sharp and midwinter stubborn.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, skies turn partly sunny today with highs reaching near 34 degrees. Light west winds keep it brisk. Clearer conditions settle in tonight as temperatures fall to around 17 degrees, allowing refreeze concerns where melting occurs this afternoon.
A noticeable warm-up arrives Friday and Saturday. Highs climb to 45 degrees Friday and near 49 degrees Saturday with partial sunshine. Snowbanks will soften, and puddles may form on side streets and along I-81. After sunset Saturday, rain and snow showers develop, then transition to mainly snow before daybreak Sunday. Precipitation chances increase to 60% Saturday night.
