New York – Cold air is holding on this morning, but a rapid warm-up will collide with incoming rain, setting the stage for a sharp rain-to-snow switch that could freeze roads fast by Thursday night. Conditions will change quickly, especially after sunset.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, temperatures climb to 64°F Thursday with rain developing by afternoon and a 100% chance of precipitation. By Thursday night, temperatures fall to around 34°F as rain mixes with snow, with some thunder possible.
Across Binghamton, Johnson City, and Endicott, roads like I-81 and Route 17 could turn slick as colder air rushes in. Wet pavement may refreeze, creating patchy ice by early Friday. Bridges and overpasses will be the first trouble spots.
Rain and snow showers continue into Friday morning with temperatures dropping to near 40°F during the day, then falling sharply again into the 20s Friday night. Gusty northwest winds up to 22 mph will add a biting edge and reduce visibility at times.
Today remains calm with partial sunshine and highs near 53°F. Clouds increase tonight with a slight chance of showers developing late. The real impact window begins Thursday afternoon and intensifies into the night.
By Saturday, skies clear with sunshine returning, but highs only reach 38°F. Sunday moderates slightly with highs near 47°F under mostly sunny skies.
Looking ahead, early next week brings milder air back into the 50s, though additional rain chances return by Monday.
If you’re traveling Thursday night, are you ready for a fast-changing mix of rain, snow, and ice?
