BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Drivers in the Southern Tier should brace for reduced visibility Friday morning as patchy fog develops before sunrise. The fog may slow travel on I-81 and other major routes, especially during the morning commute. Motorists are urged to allow extra time, use low beams, and avoid sudden stops.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, fog is likely before 9 a.m. Friday, giving way to sunshine by late morning. Temperatures will climb near 78 degrees, but the humid air will keep mornings damp. Calm winds are expected, easing driving conditions once fog burns off.
Friday night will stay clear with lows in the low 50s, but patchy fog returns after 3 a.m. Saturday. The weekend trend remains warm, with Saturday reaching the upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. Fog may again slow early drivers before conditions improve.
Sunday brings the biggest shift, with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms by afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 70s, but wet roads could complicate afternoon and evening travel. Those with outdoor plans should keep rain gear ready and check updates for possible alerts.
