New York's Southern Tier could experience a sharp November weather reversal this week, with temperatures reaching 60 degrees before rain and possible snow arrive Friday morning.
The developing pattern could bring some of the season's first snowflakes to Binghamton, Broome County and surrounding communities.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, temperatures will climb into the upper 50s and near 60 degrees early this week before colder conditions return.
By Friday morning, Nov. 13, temperatures could approach 30 degrees, with a chance of rain changing to a rain snow mixture and eventually snow.
That transition could become the week's biggest weather story.
Monday Rain Brings a Damp Start Monday, Nov. 9, brings another round of unsettled weather across the Southern Tier.
Showers are likely, mainly before 11 a.m., with precipitation chances reaching 60%.
Temperatures climb near 52 degrees, while northwest winds could gust as high as 23 mph.
Wet pavement may affect drivers traveling Interstate 81, Interstate 86 and Route 17.
Conditions improve Monday evening, with temperatures falling near 37 degrees.
Tuesday Warm Up Reaches 60 Degrees Tuesday, Nov. 10, offers a noticeable break from the unsettled weather.
Mostly sunny skies accompany temperatures near 60 degrees.
That's approximately 23 degrees warmer than Monday night's forecast low.
Residents could use the milder afternoon to clear fallen leaves, secure outdoor decorations and prepare for colder weather.
Tuesday night temperatures return to approximately 38 degrees.
Veterans Day Brings Another Temperature Change Wednesday, Nov. 11, remains mostly sunny, with highs near 56 degrees.
However, the milder weather will not last.
Temperatures fall toward 36 degrees Wednesday night as another change approaches the region.
Thursday brings mostly cloudy skies, a 40% chance of rain and highs near 50 degrees.
The more significant transition develops Thursday night into Friday morning.
Rain Could Change to Snow Friday Morning The National Weather Service specifically identifies a chance of rain and snow between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13.
After 4 a.m., precipitation could fall as snow.
Temperatures are expected to reach approximately 30 degrees early Friday.
A 40% precipitation chance is forecast for Thursday night, followed by a 30% chance of rain and snow Friday.
No snowfall accumulation is specified in the current forecast.
However, temperatures near freezing mean drivers should monitor conditions closely, particularly on bridges and elevated roadways.
Any wet surfaces could become slippery if pavement temperatures drop below freezing.
Could This Be Binghamton's First Snowfall? The possibility of snow arriving after 60 degree warmth highlights how quickly November conditions can change.
Higher elevations across the Southern Tier may experience different conditions than lower valleys.
For now, measurable accumulation remains uncertain.
Residents should continue monitoring National Weather Service updates as Friday approaches.
