New York’s Southern Tier is shifting fast from a chilly, crisp start to a damp, unsettled stretch, with wet pavement and reduced visibility expected to develop by late afternoon. Temperatures are climbing out of the low 30s, but the real concern now turns to rain timing and road impacts.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, a 30% chance of showers develops after 5 p.m. today, with highs near 61°F. Winds remain light, but visibility could drop quickly during passing showers, especially along I-81 and Route 17.
Conditions stay active into Monday, when rain becomes more widespread. Showers are likely with a 60% chance and highs near 69°F. Roads may turn slick after dry breaks, increasing the risk of sudden stops and minor accidents. Plan extra time if traveling through Broome and Tioga counties.
By Tuesday, warmer air surges in, pushing highs near 79°F. That warmth fuels instability, bringing a 40% chance of showers and a rising thunderstorm risk after 5 p.m. Localized downpours could briefly flood low-lying roads and reduce visibility below a mile.
The pattern holds into Wednesday, with showers likely again and another round of possible thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Commuters should expect repeat slowdowns and ponding on roadways.
Looking ahead, temperatures remain above normal, signaling a steady move into spring. Still, early morning chill near freezing could create isolated slick spots where moisture lingers. Stay alert for changing conditions and watch for updates as storms redevelop. Traveling later today or Tuesday? What are you seeing on your roads?
