Binghamton, NY – Spring sunshine won’t stick around long in Binghamton as brief clearing Friday afternoon gives way to a rainy, soggy weekend. After Thursday’s storms, a short lull Friday morning will bring some sun before steady rain returns Friday night and lingers through early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered rain will begin Friday night after 9 p.m. with an 80% chance of precipitation. Winds will remain calm Friday, but pick up slightly Saturday as rain becomes steady after 2 p.m. Highs on Saturday will reach near 55°F. Showers are expected again Sunday with temperatures around 58°F. Monday will briefly dry out before more rain moves in Tuesday.
Key travel corridors like Route 17 and I-81 may become slick throughout the weekend. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay alert for ponding on roads. Flooding isn’t expected at this time, but heavy rainfall totals could change conditions quickly.
Residents should check gutters, clear storm drains, and secure outdoor items ahead of Friday evening. Bring umbrellas for outdoor plans and prepare for cooler, wet spring conditions through early next week.
Looking ahead, Monday offers a brief break with partly sunny skies and highs near 40°F. However, Tuesday brings another round of showers with snow possible by night as temperatures drop into the 20s.
