New York’s Southern Tier wakes up under a steel-gray sky and a biting chill, and a few light flakes could drift across Binghamton before midday. Temperatures hover in the low 20s this morning, and wind chills sit in the mid-teens, keeping sidewalks crisp and untreated roads slick in spots.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, a slight chance of snow showers or flurries lingers through early afternoon, with precipitation chances around 20 percent. Highs reach near 38 degrees with light winds. Most neighborhoods stay dry, but brief bursts of flakes could reduce visibility along I-81 and Route 17 before noon.
Drivers should watch bridges and shaded roads. Even light snow can create slick patches, especially with ground temperatures below freezing. This is also prime time for flash freezing. Melting during the day can refreeze quickly after sunset, increasing collision risks.
Skies clear into Sunday with partial sunshine and a high near 42 degrees. Sunday night turns mostly cloudy with lows around 29. President’s Day brings more sun and a high near 43, followed by mid-40s Tuesday. That gradual thaw signals a broader warming trend.
By midweek, rain becomes more likely. Showers develop Wednesday with highs near 44. Rain and snow could mix Wednesday night as temperatures dip toward 30 degrees. Another rain or snow chance arrives Thursday and Friday.
Long-range guidance shows above-average temperatures expanding late next week, hinting at early spring vibes across much of New York.
