Binghamton, NY – Rain will dominate New York’s Southern Tier starting Wednesday afternoon, bringing an 80% chance of precipitation and a slick commute along I-81 by evening.
According to the National Weather Service, Binghamton will see increasing clouds and a high of 63°F on Wednesday before showers begin after 2 p.m. Rain becomes more widespread into Wednesday night, continuing through early Thursday. Winds from the southeast may reach up to 9 mph, potentially complicating travel and increasing the risk of minor flooding in low-lying areas.
By Thursday, rain remains likely—especially before 5 p.m.—with temperatures peaking around 71°F. Commuters and residents should use caution during both morning and evening travel periods. If driving along major routes like I-81, NY-17, or local county roads, reduce speed and allow extra time.
Friday brings some relief: only a 30% chance of afternoon rain and mostly clear skies otherwise, with temperatures reaching the low 70s. The early weekend outlook is much brighter. Saturday looks partly sunny with a high near 71°F—ideal for outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, Sunday through Tuesday brings mild “Summer weather” vibes, with daily highs in the low-to-mid 70s and only slight chances (30%) of scattered showers each day.
A weather alert remains in effect through Thursday evening. Stay tuned for updates, especially if rain rates intensify.
