New York – Light rain and damp, chilly air are settling over the Southern Tier right now, with visibility holding low and roads turning slick across the Binghamton area. At 36°F, the air feels raw, and mist clings to hills and valleys, slowing travel into the early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, steady showers continue with near 100% humidity and calm winds, keeping fog locked in place. Rain chances remain elevated through the day, with additional rounds of showers and even thunderstorms possible later.
Across Broome County, wet pavement is already impacting Route 17 and I-81, where reduced visibility can develop quickly in fog-prone stretches. Plan extra time and keep headlights on. Conditions may briefly worsen after sunset as scattered storms develop.
A sharp shift arrives by Friday. Temperatures climb fast into the low 70s, bringing a burst of spring warmth. Scattered storms may pop up by afternoon, with gusty winds and brief downpours. After all, this is part of a broader active spring pattern stretching across the Northeast.
The weekend turns unsettled again. Showers become more widespread by Saturday afternoon, then intensify Saturday night into Sunday with a soaking rain likely. Travel delays are possible, especially during periods of steady rainfall.
Colder air returns Sunday night. Rain may mix with or change to wet snow as temperatures drop near freezing. That raises the risk of slick spots developing on untreated roads into early Monday. Watch for patchy icing in higher elevations.
Drier, cooler weather settles in early next week, with sunshine returning but temperatures staying below recent highs. Traveling this weekend? Expect changing conditions and stay alert.
