New York starts the day under a thin veil of patchy fog stretching across the Southern Tier, softening tree lines and dimming early headlights along I-81 and Route 17. The air feels crisp, and a faint chill lingers over damp leaves as Binghamton residents step outside. Drivers should reduce speed in low-visibility pockets, especially in valleys that trap morning moisture.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog lifts gradually as skies brighten. Sunshine filters through the cloud deck, and temperatures rise into the upper 40s. Conditions remain calm through midday, but Friday brings a shift as a weak disturbance in the region introduces a chance of showers, mainly after lunchtime. Any rainfall should stay light, but even minor precipitation can slow travel—an important note with Thanksgiving one week away and early road traffic building statewide.
Models hint at a subtle Winter Tease next week as colder air gathers across the Great Lakes. While Binghamton doesn’t face a snow threat today, the pattern suggests increasing odds for early flurries or a possible mix as Thanksgiving approaches. The city already saw its first flakes earlier this month, and the next cold surge could add to the seasonal feel.
Residents planning weekend errands or early holiday shopping will enjoy more stable weather. Saturday turns partly sunny and seasonable. Sunday brings similar conditions with cool breezes and comfortable highs—helpful for leaf cleanup or outdoor decorating before a wetter stretch builds early next week.
