BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The hills of the Southern Tier glow in pre-dawn stillness this morning, their late-October colors fading beneath a silver mist. Calm winds and dry air are setting up the season’s first widespread frost risk by early Monday, a sign that winter’s slow turn has quietly begun.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, skies will clear through Sunday night as temperatures dip toward the upper 20s in rural valleys and low 30s around the city. Calm conditions will allow frost to form along low-lying routes like Route 17 and the I-81 corridor. Gardeners should cover tender plants, and early commuters may need a few extra minutes to scrape windshields before sunrise Monday.
Saturday brings a few stray morning showers before the clouds begin to thin, leading to highs near 52°F. Sunday will stay dry, calm, and cool, the kind of still fall day ideal for outdoor cleanup or Halloween decorating. Lows will tumble fast Sunday night as radiational cooling strengthens, likely producing patchy to widespread frost across Broome, Chenango, and Tioga Counties.
The start of the new week looks bright but brisk, with sunny skies and highs in the low 50s through Wednesday. No major storms or snow threats are expected yet, though the pattern suggests a colder push may arrive by early November. For now, fall’s gentler side lingers—but its chill is knocking at the door.
