New York starts the morning with a damp chill and pockets of fog drifting across the Southern Tier. Headlights cut through the haze as roads feel slightly slick, setting up a day where conditions change quickly.
According to the National Weather Service, Binghamton, Johnson City, Endicott, and Vestal will see patchy fog early, followed by a 30% chance of showers developing after 5 p.m. The primary impact window builds between 7 p.m. and midnight, when rain chances increase sharply and roads like I-81 and I-86 could turn slick. Low-lying areas and underpasses may see brief water pooling, especially where drainage is limited.
This is part of a broader system pushing east, bringing moisture into the Northeast while temperatures remain below average. Highs reach near 58°F today, but cooler air quickly returns tonight.
Rain becomes more widespread overnight, with chances climbing to 80% and steady showers reducing visibility and slowing travel. Wet pavement combined with falling temperatures into the upper 30s could create uneven driving conditions, particularly on bridges and rural roads.
The bigger concern shifts late Saturday night into early Sunday, when temperatures drop to around 33°F. That creates a frost risk between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m., especially in sheltered valleys and outlying areas where cold air settles. Sensitive plants may be damaged if left uncovered.
Conditions improve Sunday with sunshine and highs near 54°F, followed by a warming trend into the 60s Monday and 70s by Tuesday as spring rebounds.
Plan for slower travel this evening and protect plants ahead of the early Sunday frost window.
