Binghamton, NY – A cold front pushing through New York this weekend could bring scattered rain showers, with the potential for snowflakes to mix into the higher elevations of central New York late Saturday night into Sunday morning. However, no significant accumulation is expected.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, rain showers will start this afternoon, tapering off overnight. In areas like Ithaca and Syracuse, rain will be more widespread, while higher elevations could see a brief snow mix after midnight. The highest chances for precipitation will be between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday, with Binghamton, Elmira, and surrounding areas expecting up to a 50% chance of rain.
Travelers in the higher elevations of central New York, including the Catskill and Adirondack regions, may encounter wet or slippery roads late at night due to the mix of rain and snow. Drivers should stay alert, particularly in areas like Rome and Utica, where snowflakes could mix into rain.
Although snow accumulation is unlikely, those with travel plans should prepare for a brief cold snap and the potential for road dampness in some areas. Local agencies suggest monitoring conditions overnight for any updates.
The precipitation will move out by Sunday afternoon, with temperatures expected to stay chilly into early next week.
