Binghamton, N.Y. – Summer storms will target New York on Thursday, July 10, as scattered showers and thunderstorms move into the Binghamton area after 11 a.m., posing safety risks for drivers along I-81 and other local roadways. Expect wet pavement, sudden downpours, and the chance for isolated thunder as the day heats up—making Thursday’s midday and afternoon hours critical for anyone traveling or running errands.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, showers will develop before noon, with a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms possible between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Storms could produce brief, heavy rainfall but little accumulation overall. Residents should avoid unnecessary travel on major routes like I-81, slow down on slick roads, and stay weather-aware, especially after 2 p.m. when another round of storms could arrive. The high will reach a humid 87°F, and light, variable winds will keep storm movement unpredictable.
While Thursday’s storms are the main event, the weather quickly shifts gears for the weekend. Friday brings only a slight chance of afternoon storms, with partly sunny skies and a high near 87°F. By Saturday, summer heat returns in full force—mostly sunny, with highs soaring to 91°F. Nights remain mild, staying in the mid-to-upper 60s, making outdoor plans and evening events more comfortable. Sunday and Monday see a continued risk of showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon, but overall sunshine and heat remain the dominant theme.
