Binghamton, New York – Temperatures falling into the low 30s overnight will create patchy frost and areas of fog, potentially impacting early Monday travel and damaging sensitive vegetation across the Twin Tiers.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, skies will clear through Sunday, allowing heat to escape quickly after sunset. Overnight lows are expected to drop between 32 and 36 degrees, with frost formation most likely between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. Monday in valleys and rural areas.
Communities including Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre will see the highest frost risk. While major routes like I-81 and I-86 should remain mostly dry, patchy fog could reduce visibility below one mile in spots before sunrise. Gardeners and growers face the greatest concern, as unprotected plants may suffer damage in colder pockets.
Dry weather will continue through Monday and Tuesday, but a significant shift arrives midweek. Rain chances climb sharply Wednesday afternoon, with probabilities reaching 70 to 85 percent across much of central New York and northeast Pennsylvania. Cities like Syracuse, Utica, and Oneonta could see steady rain impacting the evening commute.
Residents should cover sensitive plants tonight and prepare for changing conditions by midweek. Additional updates are expected as the timing and coverage of Wednesday’s rain become clearer.
