Binghamton, NY – Residents in central New York are urged to brace for dangerous winter weather as snow showers and frigid wind chills impact the region today. Wind chill values are forecast to drop as low as -10°F tonight, with slippery roads expected across Broome and Tioga counties.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. this morning, with additional snowfall accumulations of up to one inch expected. Winds gusting up to 30 mph will create areas of blowing and drifting snow, complicating commutes along I-81 and Route 17.
Temperatures will remain dangerously low throughout the day, with highs barely reaching 16°F and overnight lows plummeting to single digits. The bitter cold combined with high winds will make exposed skin susceptible to frostbite within minutes. Residents are advised to layer clothing, avoid prolonged outdoor exposure, and ensure pets are brought indoors.
Looking ahead, more lake-effect snow is predicted for Thursday, with accumulations of 1–3 inches across central New York, including Syracuse and Cortland. Friday offers a brief respite, with partly sunny skies and highs near 28°F, but snow likely returns for the weekend.
Drivers should proceed with caution, as icy roads and blowing snow could create hazardous travel conditions. Stay updated on local weather forecasts and road conditions by visiting the NWS website or dialing 511 for real-time updates.
