BINGHAMTON, New York – A soft drizzle and low gray clouds blanket the hills around the Susquehanna Valley this Wednesday morning, signaling the kind of slow-moving fall pattern that can linger for days. Damp roads glisten across Broome and Tioga counties, and by Friday, a drier, cooler pattern will take over—bringing crisp mornings, possible fog, and a true feel of late October.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, scattered showers will continue through Thursday night, with brief heavier downpours possible during the afternoon hours. While no flooding is expected, wet pavement and leaf-covered streets could make commutes slick across the I-81 and Route 17 corridors. Rainfall totals should remain under a half-inch for most areas. Temperatures will hover near the mid-50s before dipping into the upper 30s late Thursday night.
Friday brings gradual clearing, though lingering clouds and a few stray sprinkles could hang on early. Behind the departing system, high pressure settles in for the weekend, delivering dry air and lighter winds. Lows will fall into the low 30s Saturday morning, with patchy frost possible in sheltered valleys and rural areas. Residents planning outdoor cleanup or travel should prepare for cool, crisp air and the chance of reduced visibility in early fog.
Saturday and Sunday both look pleasant, with highs in the low to mid-50s and sunshine peeking through scattered clouds. It’s classic late-fall weather—ideal for raking, hiking, or Halloween prep before another system edges in early next week. For now, the Southern Tier is trading gray skies for calm, cool clarity—one chilly step closer to winter’s doorstep.
