Binghamton, N.Y. – Umbrellas are a must in Binghamton today as rain showers and breezy winds sweep across central New York, bringing cooler temperatures and slick roads through the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, scattered rain showers will move north throughout the day before tapering off by Tuesday evening. Winds will remain gusty, with peak gusts topping 20 mph in parts of the Southern Tier and central New York. Temperatures will hover in the low 60s to low 70s — slightly cooler than Monday.
In Binghamton, Ithaca, and Cortland, off-and-on rain may cause ponding on roads, especially in low-lying areas. Drivers should reduce speed during downpours and remain alert for reduced visibility during gusts. No flooding is expected, but damp conditions could persist through rush hour.
Residents should keep rain gear handy and avoid outdoor activities in exposed areas. With temperatures cooler and winds stronger, it’s also a good idea to secure loose outdoor items like patio furniture and trash bins.
Showers are expected to clear later tonight, with calmer and drier conditions likely returning Wednesday morning. Updates will be issued if new advisories are posted.
