BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – A damp chill is creeping back into New York’s Southern Tier this morning as clouds thicken and another round of steady rain approaches. The mild spell that carried through late week will soon break, with colder air poised to arrive Sunday night—possibly bringing Binghamton its first snow mix of the season.

According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, showers develop later today and become widespread by Sunday afternoon. As temperatures fall through the 30s late Sunday, a rain-to-snow changeover is possible, especially along higher ridges near I-88 and Route 17. While accumulation should remain light, the first flakes could make an appearance before dawn Monday. Drivers heading toward Elmira, Cortland, or Scranton should expect wet pavement and occasional slick spots early Monday.

Behind the front, colder northwest winds strengthen, ushering in a brisk November chill through Veterans Day. Gusts could reach 25 mph Monday, adding bite to temperatures that struggle to climb above the upper 30s. The National Weather Service notes that scattered snow showers may linger Monday and Tuesday, mainly north and east of the city.

Residents are urged to plan ahead for temperature swings and early winter conditions—keep extra windshield fluid handy, check tire tread, and dress in layers for evening events. With many schools and communities preparing for Veterans Day ceremonies, outdoor participants should brace for cold, damp air and occasional light snow. To be fair, totals will be minor—but it’s a clear signal that winter’s rhythm is taking hold across upstate New York.
