Binghamton, NY – Widespread haze continues to blanket Binghamton and much of the Southern Tier, driving air quality concerns and limiting visibility through Monday as temperatures climb toward the upper 80s. An Air Quality Alert remains in effect, with residents urged to minimize outdoor activity, especially those with asthma or heart conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring persistent haze with highs reaching 87°F, while variable winds keep smoke trapped near the surface. Air quality is expected to remain poor through at least Monday night. By Tuesday, conditions will turn partly sunny and even hotter—highs could approach 88°F. Wednesday brings a change: isolated showers and thunderstorms may develop after 2 p.m., offering slight relief from the heat but increasing the risk of brief downpours and lightning, with a 20% chance of precipitation.
Travelers should remain alert for reduced visibility, especially early in the morning and after sunset when haze is thickest. Those sensitive to smoke should limit strenuous outdoor activities and keep indoor air clean. If storms hit midweek, avoid flooded roadways and be prepared for quick weather changes.
Air quality alerts and isolated storm chances may continue into Wednesday night. Updates will follow if new warnings are issued.
