Binghamton, NY – A winter storm system is set to impact central New York this weekend, with a mix of rain and snow forecast for Saturday and accumulating snow likely on Sunday. Residents should prepare for icy conditions, potential travel delays, and dangerous wind chills next week.

According to the National Weather Service, a rain-snow mix will move through the region Saturday afternoon, with temperatures near 38 degrees. Snowfall is expected to intensify late Saturday into Sunday as temperatures drop into the mid-20s. Northern areas, including the Poconos and Southern Catskills, may see the highest snow totals, though the exact track of the storm remains uncertain.

Sunday’s storm will usher in Arctic air, with wind chills dropping to as low as -15 to -25 degrees by Monday night. Forecasters warn that frostbite could occur on exposed skin within minutes during these conditions. Travel on major routes like I-81 and local roads may be hazardous due to ice and snow accumulation.

Looking ahead, Martin Luther King Jr. Day will remain cold, with a high near 17 degrees and partly cloudy skies. Temperatures are expected to dip further Monday night, reaching lows around -1 degree, with another chilly day anticipated Tuesday.

Residents are urged to stay updated by monitoring forecasts and checking road conditions before traveling. Preparations for extreme cold, such as winterizing homes and vehicles, are recommended.
