Binghamton, NY – Thunderstorms are expected to develop across the Southern Tier Thursday afternoon, with the potential for heavy rain and patchy fog to disrupt travel and outdoor plans. Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s before storms move in, bringing localized downpours and the chance of brief street flooding.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are most likely between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., with some storms capable of producing a quick inch or more of rain. Calm winds will shift northwest at around 6 mph later in the day. Morning commuters could also encounter patchy fog before 7 a.m., especially in low-lying areas and near river valleys.
While Thursday brings the week’s highest storm risk, conditions improve quickly. Friday through Sunday looks mostly sunny and warm, with highs near or above 90 degrees Saturday. This dry stretch offers a good window for weekend events and travel before another round of showers returns late Sunday into Monday.
Drivers should use caution Thursday afternoon, allowing extra time on wet roads, and avoid low-lying flood-prone areas during heavier bursts of rain.
