Binghamton, NY – A winter weather system is set to bring snow and a flash freeze to parts of New York on Saturday morning, creating hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service Binghamton, rain will transition to snow overnight as a cold front moves through the region. This will cause a sharp drop in temperatures, leading to icy roads. Areas north of the New York State Thruway could see 3-4 inches of snowfall, while locations to the south may receive less than an inch.
Gusty snow showers are expected in the morning and early afternoon, reducing visibility for drivers. The flash freeze may make untreated roads slick, increasing the risk of accidents.
Residents should prepare for difficult travel conditions and allow extra time for their morning commutes. The cold air will linger through the weekend, with temperatures remaining below average.
