Binghamton, NY – A surge of summer heat will grip the Southern Tier on Tuesday, pushing highs to 92°F with a heat index climbing toward 95 before an evening thunderstorm chance arrives. The National Weather Service warns that outdoor activities may be impacted by both the extreme heat and the potential for storms developing after sunset.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, skies will be mostly clear overnight into Tuesday morning, allowing temperatures to climb quickly. The highest heat risk will come in the mid to late afternoon, with isolated thunderstorms possible after 2 p.m. Broome, Tioga, and Chenango counties should prepare for sudden downpours and gusty winds if storms develop.
Heat can quickly affect those working outdoors or attending events, so residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activities during peak heat, and keep an eye on the sky during late-day plans. Drivers may also encounter slick roads and reduced visibility in any heavy downpours Tuesday night.
This hot stretch will give way to a more unsettled midweek pattern, with a higher thunderstorm chance and slightly cooler highs Wednesday before drier weather returns by Thursday.
