New York – Gray skies and damp air are already settling in across the Southern Tier, and roads could turn slick within hours as scattered showers develop into steadier rain by Saturday night. Visibility may dip on Route 17 and I-81 as moisture builds, especially toward the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, rain chances climb sharply late Saturday, reaching 90% Saturday night with potential rainfall totals between a quarter and half inch. Winds could gust up to 23 mph, adding to reduced visibility and wet driving conditions.
Binghamton and nearby communities will see a sharp temperature drop. Highs near 75 Saturday fall into the upper 30s by late night. Rain continues into Sunday with an 80% chance, keeping pavement wet and increasing the risk for pooling water in low-lying areas.
By Sunday night, colder air pushes in fast enough to mix rain with snow showers. Temperatures dip to around 29°F, which could create isolated slick spots on bridges and untreated roads by early Monday. Plan ahead if traveling late Sunday or early Monday morning.
Monday brings partial sunshine but stays cool, with highs only in the low 40s. Conditions improve Tuesday with dry weather and highs rebounding into the mid-50s.
More updates are likely as this system evolves. Are you seeing rain or fog in your area yet?
