New York – Wind-driven rain taps against windshields this morning as slushy patches cling to colder roads across Broome County. The air feels damp and raw, and conditions are changing quickly.
Rain and snow showers mix early today, especially before midday. Temperatures hover in the mid-30s, allowing wet snowflakes to stick briefly on grassy surfaces. Roads stay mostly wet, but colder spots may turn slick. Drivers should use caution on bridges and along Route 17 during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation eases late this morning, leaving behind cloudy skies and a cool afternoon. Highs reach the upper 30s, keeping Winter close but not fully locked in. Tonight stays quiet, with lows near freezing.
Thursday brings a noticeable shift. Skies brighten and temperatures rebound into the mid-40s, offering a brief break. Travel improves through the day, but that calm won’t last long.
Rain returns Friday and becomes widespread. Temperatures climb into the upper 40s as southerly winds increase. Wet pavement and reduced visibility are likely during the afternoon and evening commute. While flooding is not expected, steady rain may slow traffic across the Southern Tier.
Friday night stays damp, then colder air begins filtering in. By Saturday, rain becomes likely again, pushing highs near 50 before temperatures fall late in the day. Any lingering moisture sets the stage for a Winter switch.
By Sunday, colder air settles in. Rain mixes with snow showers during the day, especially before afternoon. Highs drop into the lower 40s, and brief snow bursts could reduce visibility. As temperatures fall Sunday night, black ice becomes a concern where roads dry and refreeze.
Early next week turns colder and quieter, with highs dipping back into the 30s as January 2026 daylight slowly increases.
