Binghamton, NY – Travelers and residents in the Binghamton area should prepare for hazardous road conditions Thursday morning due to freezing fog and potential black ice. The National Weather Service warns that patchy freezing fog will develop between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., making early commutes dangerous.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, temperatures overnight will dip to 21°F under cloudy skies. Calm winds will persist, but moisture in the air could lead to slippery spots on untreated roadways, especially on rural highways and bridges. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time during the morning rush.
By Thursday afternoon, conditions will improve with mostly sunny skies and highs near 32°F. Calm winds will make for a relatively mild afternoon compared to the overnight chill.

Highs will reach 42°F on Saturday and 48°F by Sunday, but rain is likely to impact travel plans across the region.
