New York – Streetlights catch faint flurries drifting through the early morning haze as temperatures hover in the mid-30s across Binghamton. The first signs of winter are quietly taking shape — snow showers, brisk winds, and a notable temperature drop heading into early December.
Today stays mostly cloudy and cool, with highs near 39°F and a few breaks of sun. Friday brings increasing snow chances, especially in the afternoon and evening, as moisture pushes into the Southern Tier. While accumulations look light — generally under a half inch — slick roads and gusty winds could briefly reduce visibility, especially along I-81 and Route 17.
By Saturday, skies clear for a brief, calm break before a stronger system arrives Sunday. Expect rain and snow developing by midday, transitioning to rain later in the day as highs reach the low 40s. Sunday night could see another mix or light snow, especially over higher ground as cold air filters back in.
Meteorologists are watching a larger cold pattern taking shape for the Dec. 2–6 window, with below-normal temperatures and higher precipitation odds for much of the Northeast — an early December cold snap that could bring the season’s first measurable snowfall to more of upstate New York.
