Binghamton, NY – A fresh round of snow is set to return to New York and Pennsylvania on Sunday as February kicks off with winter weather across the Mid-Atlantic. Residents should prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility as snow moves in during the afternoon and continues into the night.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will begin developing Sunday after 4 p.m., with accumulations generally under an inch across most of New York and Pennsylvania. While not a major storm, the snowfall combined with wind gusts up to 22 mph could create hazardous travel conditions, particularly on untreated roads.
Sunday Night Snowfall and Travel Concerns
Snow will continue into Sunday night, peaking between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. before tapering off. Lows will drop into the upper 20s, and while accumulations will remain light, the freezing temperatures could cause icy patches on roadways. Areas with heavier bursts of snow may experience brief reductions in visibility.
Commuters should be cautious Monday morning as leftover snow and ice could lead to slippery conditions, particularly on bridges and overpasses. A slight chance of snow showers remains through early Monday before skies begin to clear.
A Wintry Start to the Week, but Warmer Days Ahead
Monday will remain mostly cloudy, with highs reaching the mid-30s. A weak disturbance could bring scattered rain and snow showers during the afternoon, though accumulation is not expected. By Monday night, skies will clear slightly, and temperatures will settle into the mid-20s.
Tuesday will bring a brief break from precipitation, with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the low 30s. However, another system is on track to arrive by Wednesday, bringing a mix of rain and snow. Current forecasts suggest a 30–40% chance of precipitation throughout the day, with temperatures climbing into the mid-30s.
Looking Ahead: Late-Week Forecast
Beyond Wednesday, temperatures are expected to trend slightly warmer, with highs nearing 40 degrees by Thursday. While some lingering showers are possible midweek, conditions will gradually improve as a drier pattern emerges.
Residents should stay alert for updates on changing road conditions and plan for slower commutes Sunday night into Monday morning. For those traveling, extra caution is advised, especially on secondary roads and elevated surfaces.
