New York starts the morning under a steel-gray sky, with light snow streaking past streetlights and slush forming along Court Street. Thermometers sit near 23 degrees in Binghamton, and untreated roads remain slick as precipitation fills back in.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, snow spreads across central New York through late morning before mixing with sleet and rain by early afternoon. Highs reach near 37 degrees. Up to a half inch of snow and sleet may accumulate before the change to rain. South winds increase to around 8 mph, adding a raw edge to the air.
Expect reduced visibility along I-81 and Route 17 through midday. Plan extra braking distance. Side streets and bridges freeze first. This is prime flash-freeze season, when melting during the day refreezes after sunset.
Showers taper late, but scattered rain lingers into Wednesday morning. Temperatures rebound to near 49 degrees with gradual clearing. By Thursday, steadier rain redevelops and highs climb near 50. Additional rainfall combined with snowmelt may push smaller streams higher through the end of the week. Ice jam concerns increase along area rivers.
Friday stays mild, near 54 degrees, with another chance of rain before early afternoon. The pattern turns more springlike into the weekend, with highs pushing the mid-60s Saturday.
We spring clocks ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Longer daylight and a warming trend dominate the 6- to 10-day outlook. Above-normal temperatures look increasingly likely across the Northeast.
For now, navigate carefully today and monitor river levels later this week. Are you seeing more snow or rain in your neighborhood?
