New York — Rain soaked roads, falling temperatures and the possibility of wet snow could bring a sharp November weather reversal across Binghamton and the Southern Tier.
After temperatures approach 58 degrees Wednesday, colder air will push readings toward freezing Thursday night. Snow becomes likely Friday, with additional chances continuing into Saturday.
The changing conditions could complicate travel across Broome County, particularly along Interstate 81, Interstate 88 and Route 17.
According to the National Weather Service, Binghamton faces a 100% chance of rain Thursday before precipitation begins transitioning toward snow.
The system arrives as the Weather Prediction Center tracks an unusually strong push of polar air across the eastern United States.
Thursday Brings Widespread Rain Before Snow Develops Thursday, November 12, looks especially wet across Binghamton.
Rain chances reach 100%, with temperatures climbing near 50 degrees.
The National Weather Service expects between one quarter and one half inch of precipitation.
East winds around 6 mph will shift north during the afternoon as colder air begins arriving.
Drivers should prepare for wet pavement and reduced visibility during steadier rainfall.
Thursday night brings the more significant weather change.
Rain continues before 1 a.m. Friday, followed by snow likely, possibly mixed with rain.
Temperatures fall toward 32 degrees, with precipitation chances remaining at 80%.
That transition could introduce slick conditions where temperatures reach freezing.
Friday Snow Becomes Likely Across Binghamton Friday, November 13, brings another noticeable temperature decline.
High temperatures reach only 42 degrees, approximately 16 degrees below Wednesday's expected high.
Snow is likely during the morning, possibly mixing with rain before 1 p.m.
Rain chances continue afterward, with the overall precipitation probability reaching 60%.
Although daytime temperatures rise above freezing, brief periods of wet snow remain possible.
Friday night temperatures fall toward 30 degrees, with a 50% chance of snow.
That raises concerns about isolated icy patches, particularly where moisture remains on bridges and untreated pavement.
However, widespread flash freezing is not specifically predicted.
Saturday Keeps Snow Chances Alive Saturday, November 14, remains chilly across the Southern Tier.
High temperatures reach approximately 42 degrees, with a 40% chance of snow before 1 p.m.
Mostly cloudy skies continue through the afternoon.
For now, the supplied local forecast does not specify measurable snowfall totals.
Still, drivers should remain alert for changing conditions, especially during early travel.
Saturday night temperatures fall toward 32 degrees.
Sunday Brings Some Improvement Sunday, November 15, offers a quieter weather pattern.
Mostly cloudy skies continue, with highs near 45 degrees.
