Binghamton, NY – Residents of Southern New York should prepare for severe thunderstorms today, which could lead to flash flooding and hazardous conditions. A warm front moving through the area will bring scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms this morning, but the threat will intensify this afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, strong to severe storms are expected between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., particularly east of I-81. These storms could bring damaging winds, small hail, and heavy rain, causing localized flash flooding. With soils already saturated, areas near rivers and streams are at heightened risk.
Residents are advised to stay indoors during the storm, avoid flooded roads, and monitor local weather updates for any changes. As the storms move eastward, conditions should improve later this evening, but the threat of flooding may persist into the night. Stay tuned to local weather channels and prepare to take immediate action if flood warnings are issued.
