BINGHAMTON, NY – The Southern Tier wakes under a clear, cold sky this morning, the kind that feels crisp enough to remind residents that November has truly arrived. A light frost coats parked cars along rural roads from Whitney Point to Vestal, but sunshine promises to lift the chill fast — at least for now.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, the region stays mostly dry through Sunday, with calm winds and highs climbing into the mid-50s. It’s a quiet stretch before a more active pattern develops early Monday, when showers will advance from the west by midday. Rain could mix briefly with drizzle or mist through late afternoon, especially in higher terrain along Route 17 and I-81.
Winds turn gusty from the southwest as the front strengthens Monday evening, bringing scattered downpours and cooler air trailing behind. NWS meteorologists note that temperatures will slide back into the 30s by early Tuesday, with highs holding near seasonal norms. No snow is expected yet, but models hint at colder systems taking aim at upstate New York later next week — the kind that often deliver the first flakes across the Catskills and Finger Lakes before mid-November.
Residents planning yard cleanup or early holiday decorating will find Sunday the better window for outdoor work. Monday and Tuesday look breezy and damp, while Wednesday brings a return to partial sun before another late-week chance for showers. It’s a typical November rhythm — short bursts of warmth chased quickly by the scent of rain and the whisper of winter on the wind.
