Binghamton, NY – Gray skies linger over the Southern Tier this morning, signaling the start of a colder, more unsettled stretch across upstate New York. Residents should prepare for icy roads, flurries, and a steady chill as winter’s grip strengthens through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, a mix of rain and snow showers could develop later today before colder air settles in tonight. Temperatures will dip into the mid-teens by early Monday, with a mostly sunny but brisk day ahead. By Tuesday, another round of snow showers is expected to move through the Binghamton area, bringing a light coating of accumulation and reduced visibility at times—especially during the morning commute.
Meteorologists caution that even minor snowfall could create slick spots on I-81 and local roadways, particularly where melting snow refreezes overnight. Wednesday looks to be the most active day, with rain likely turning to snow as temperatures drop through the afternoon. Winds may pick up, adding an extra bite to the cold.
The upcoming weekend looks even colder, with lows in the teens and another snow chance by Friday. Long-range models hint that the Dec. 11–17 window could bring heavier lake-effect snow across the Great Lakes and Northeast as arctic air pours south, marking one of the season’s sharpest cold snaps so far.
