Binghamton, NY – Pop-up rain showers are moving through New York’s Southern Tier and northeastern Pennsylvania this afternoon, with light rain and occasional thunder possible through early evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, the rain will primarily affect areas along and south of the Southern Tier—including Elmira, Towanda, and Montrose—continuing into the evening commute. While most showers will be light, isolated cells could produce brief rumbles of thunder. No severe weather is expected at this time.
Drivers along I-86, I-81, and I-84 may encounter sudden downpours and slick roads, especially between Elmira and Scranton. Communities including Bath, Honesdale, and Wilkes-Barre should expect intermittent rainfall through at least 7 p.m.
Residents are advised to keep umbrellas handy, allow extra time on wet roads, and monitor local alerts in case isolated thunderstorm activity intensifies. This system marks a modest change after several dry days across the region.
Rain is expected to taper off by mid-evening, with drier and cooler air moving in overnight. No further advisories are planned unless conditions change.
