Binghamton, N.Y. – Fog slowed early commuters across the Southern Tier Monday morning, with drivers on I-81 facing limited visibility before sunrise. Clearer skies returned by midmorning, but unsettled weather will bring shifting conditions through the week leading into Labor Day weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, patchy fog and isolated showers may linger Tuesday morning, with a high near 73. Sunshine dominates Wednesday before another round of showers arrives Thursday and Friday. Commuters and holiday travelers should plan for delays if showers develop, especially during afternoon hours when traffic volume peaks.
I-81, Route 17, and other major corridors could see brief slowdowns from reduced visibility during fog and slick pavement from scattered showers. Residents should allow extra travel time, keep headlights on during fog, and use caution when roads turn damp later this week.
Despite midweek interruptions, conditions improve heading into the long weekend. High pressure will settle in, bringing mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s through Sunday. Those planning barbecues, parades, or road trips can expect more stable weather as Labor Day approaches.
Monday’s early fog highlights the need to stay alert during morning commutes. The weather service advises continued monitoring of forecasts as patterns shift later this week.
