Binghamton, NY – A wintry mix of light snow and freezing rain is expected Sunday night into Monday morning, potentially creating hazardous travel conditions across Binghamton and surrounding areas. Commuters should plan for slick roads and slower-than-normal travel times during the Monday morning rush.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will move into the area late Sunday, with the potential for brief freezing rain. Accumulations are expected to remain minor, around half an inch or less of snow, but icy conditions could make roads treacherous. Temperatures will hover in the low 30s Sunday night, with wind chills making it feel even colder.
The precipitation is forecast to linger into Monday, with rain showers possible by afternoon as temperatures rise to the mid-40s. Winds will be light out of the southeast at 8-10 mph. Drivers are advised to exercise caution on bridges, overpasses, and untreated roadways where ice could develop.
The hazardous conditions are part of a broader system affecting central New York this week. Tuesday looks calm with partly sunny skies and highs near 47 degrees. However, rain showers are expected to return Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, with the chance of light snow showers as temperatures drop back into the 30s.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated with local weather alerts and prepare for shifting conditions throughout the week. Those traveling Monday morning should allow extra time for commutes and remain vigilant on the roads.
