Binghamton, New York – Rain spreading in this morning will quickly turn roads slick across central New York and northeast Pennsylvania, with steady showers expected to impact travel through tonight.

According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, rain is moving west to east and will expand across the region by late morning, continuing through the afternoon and overnight hours. Rainfall totals will range from 0.5 to 1 inch across much of central New York, with higher amounts of 1 to 2 inches likely from Binghamton south into Scranton, Montrose, and Honesdale.

Major routes including I-81, I-88, and I-90 will see reduced visibility and water buildup, especially during heavier periods of rain this evening. Cities such as Syracuse, Ithaca, Cortland, and Elmira will experience persistent showers, while cooler air keeps temperatures in the low to mid-40s for much of the day.

In higher elevations of the Catskills and northern Poconos, a few wet snowflakes may mix in late tonight, though no accumulation is expected. Drivers should remain alert for changing conditions in these المناطق.

Avoid driving through standing water, allow extra travel time, and keep headlights on in rain. Conditions begin to improve early Sunday morning as rain tapers off, though additional updates are expected later today as rainfall bands shift.
