BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – A sharp winter tease is brushing across the Southern Tier this Veterans Day morning as flurries drift through dim, gray skies and gusty winds whip across the Susquehanna Valley. Drivers stepping onto I-81 or I-88 before sunrise will find slick bridges, wet shoulders, and brief bursts of snow that cut visibility to near a quarter mile in spots. The air feels raw — the kind that stings bare hands and hints at a long season ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, a Hazardous Weather Outlook remains in place for central New York and northeast Pennsylvania through Tuesday. Scattered snow showers and squalls could drop a quick inch of snow, particularly in higher terrain and open stretches near Broome, Tioga, and Chenango counties. Winds gusting over 25 mph will make it feel like the teens during the early commute.
The system gradually weakens late Tuesday, but another wave of moisture arrives Wednesday. Rain and snow are expected to mix through the day, with highs hovering in the upper 30s to low 40s. Roads may become slick again by late afternoon, especially north and west of the city.
By Thursday and Friday, temperatures moderate into the mid-40s under patchy sun, offering a brief lull before the next cooldown. Residents preparing for early Thanksgiving travel or outdoor clean-up should watch for quick temperature swings and lingering wet spots that may refreeze at night.
