New York starts the morning bright but biting, with crisp air and long shadows stretching across snow-lined lawns in the Southern Tier. Sunshine is already cutting through the chill, and temperatures will rebound quickly toward the mid-40s by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, highs reach near 46 degrees today with light southwest winds developing. Skies stay mostly clear into evening before clouds increase. That brief spring tease sets up a sharper turn as the weekend unfolds.
Saturday climbs even higher, near 50 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Roads dry out, and snowbanks shrink. But by late Saturday afternoon, moisture pushes in. Snow becomes likely after 1 a.m. Sunday, with a 60% chance of accumulation. Even light snow could coat Route 17 and I-81 before daybreak.
Sunday stays cold and unsettled. Highs struggle near 29 degrees with additional snow showers possible before 1 p.m. Northwest winds add a brisk edge. Plan extra time if traveling Sunday morning.
Colder air deepens Sunday night. Temperatures drop near 9 degrees by early Monday. Any melted snow may refreeze, raising flash-freeze concerns on bridges and untreated roads.
Monday remains partly sunny but cold, with highs around 25. A rain and snow mix returns Tuesday afternoon as temperatures rebound toward 37 degrees. Early March then trends milder, with midweek highs pushing into the 40s and 50s. Longer-range signals favor above-normal temperatures heading toward next weekend.
