BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Drivers across the Southern Tier may encounter patchy fog before sunrise Monday, with visibility briefly reduced along I-81 and rural valleys. Conditions will clear quickly, giving way to a sunny and seasonable Labor Day across central New York.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, highs will climb near 79 degrees Monday afternoon under mostly sunny skies, with light winds shifting northeast. By Tuesday and Wednesday, cooler air arrives, keeping temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. While the holiday will stay dry, residents should prepare for unsettled weather later in the week.
Clouds increase Thursday, and showers are expected after 2 p.m., with heavier rain possible in the evening. The best chance for widespread rainfall comes Thursday night, when the National Weather Service places precipitation odds near 70%. Friday looks drier but cooler, with highs only in the lower 70s.
Travelers are urged to use caution Monday morning when fog reduces visibility, especially near the Susquehanna River valley and along interstates. Later this week, plan ahead for wet roads Thursday evening and allow extra travel time for commutes and school buses.
The calm, sunny weather over the next few days offers an opportunity to enjoy the end of summer before a cooler, wetter pattern sets in by midweek. Additional updates will follow if Thursday’s storm chances strengthen.
