Binghamton, NY — Motorists traveling along I-81 and surrounding roads should remain cautious as patchy fog blankets the Binghamton area Monday morning. Reduced visibility is expected to last until 11 a.m., especially in low-lying areas. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and keep extra distance between vehicles.
After the fog clears, mostly cloudy skies will dominate the rest of the day, with a high near 74°F. Light northeast winds at 5 mph should make for calm travel conditions throughout Monday. However, the quiet weather will give way to more active conditions mid-week.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday will start partly sunny with a high of 71°F, but rain is expected by Tuesday night. Scattered showers are likely after 7 p.m., with a 40% chance of precipitation continuing into Wednesday morning. Roads may become slick, so commuters should plan for possible delays.
Wednesday will see cooler temperatures, with highs only reaching 66°F. Expect rain to taper off by the afternoon. The weather improves by Thursday, with sunny skies and highs in the low 70s. Drivers can enjoy clear conditions heading into the weekend.
