Binghamton, New York – Bright sunshine is winning the battle this afternoon, but a wetter pattern is already lining up behind it. Drivers heading out across the Southern Tier should enjoy the dry weather while it lasts because conditions are expected to change significantly by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, Binghamton will climb into the upper 70s Sunday under mostly sunny skies. A stray afternoon thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, but most communities across Broome, Tioga, and Chenango counties remain dry through daylight hours.
The pleasant weather is helping parks, outdoor events, and roadways recover from recent damp conditions. Along Interstate 81, Interstate 86, and Route 17, visibility remains excellent and travel impacts are minimal.
Meteorologists are now tracking a stronger round of rainfall expected Monday. Showers become increasingly likely through the day, with thunderstorm development possible after 2 p.m. The chance of precipitation rises to 90 percent, making Monday the most impactful weather day of the upcoming workweek.
Expect wet pavement, slower travel speeds, and reduced visibility during heavier downpours. While severe weather is not currently expected, a few thunderstorms may produce brief gusty winds and localized ponding of water. Tornado potential remains very low, but residents should continue monitoring updates as the system approaches.
By Tuesday, sunshine quickly returns with highs near 77 degrees. Temperatures continue climbing through midweek, reaching around 80 degrees Wednesday under mostly sunny skies.
Long-range outlooks favor warmer-than-normal conditions across New York later next week, signaling an early taste of summer warmth after Monday’s rainy interruption.
