New York drivers are stepping onto crunchy frost and fog-dimmed streets this morning as temperatures hover near 24 degrees in Binghamton. Wind chills sit in the upper teens. Patchy freezing fog clings to low-lying roads, and thin ice may linger on bridges along I-81 and Route 17.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, patchy freezing fog fades by midmorning, giving way to partial sunshine and a high near 41 degrees. A light, variable wind keeps the air brisk but manageable. By tonight, clouds thicken and a 30% chance of rain and snow develops after midnight. New snow accumulation remains under a half inch, but slick spots could form toward daybreak Monday as temperatures dip near 30.
Plan extra time if traveling early Monday. Even light snow can create slushy patches, especially on untreated side roads in Broome County. This is prime flash-freezing season. Meltwater refreezes quickly when temperatures fall back to the upper 20s.
Monday brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 43. A slight shower chance lingers Monday night into early Tuesday. Highs reach the mid-40s Tuesday before steadier rain arrives Wednesday. Rain chances climb to 90% Wednesday, with periods of rain likely into Wednesday night.
By late week, temperatures ease back into the lower 40s with additional rain chances. Looking ahead into President’s Day week, milder air builds across much of the country. Signs point to above-normal temperatures and more rain than snow as we head toward late February.
