Binghamton, N.Y. – Friday in New York brings a summer weather alert as Binghamton braces for intense thunderstorms and soaring heat, with temperatures near 89°F by July 18. Route 17 drivers and Broome County residents should expect severe weather, including damaging winds, hail, and a chance for localized flash flooding during the afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms are likely to fire up after 2 p.m. Friday. Storms could pack gusts up to 23 mph, drop heavy rain, and bring the threat of hail or an isolated tornado. Commuters on Route 17 and other local roads should remain alert for rapidly changing conditions and possible delays from water on the pavement or downed branches. The heat index may push higher, making hydration and cool shelter critical if you’re outdoors.
By Friday night, skies begin to clear, but muggy conditions linger. The weekend starts off mostly sunny, with another round of scattered showers and storms possible late Saturday—mainly after 5 p.m. Plan for showers again Saturday night into early Sunday, as moisture from earlier storms hangs around the Southern Tier.
Sunday sees another shot at thunderstorms before conditions turn drier by Sunday night and Monday. Temperatures dip only slightly, staying in the low to mid-80s through early next week. Make sure you have backup plans for outdoor activities, keep your devices charged, and monitor for new weather alerts.
