Binghamton, N.Y. – Drivers heading into the Southern Tier this Labor Day weekend could face slick roads and reduced visibility early Saturday. Patchy fog may form before 7 a.m., especially along I-81 and surrounding highways, creating hazards for morning travelers.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, Friday night brings a chance of showers before skies clear. Rainfall amounts are light, but wet pavement combined with overnight cooling could add to Saturday morning’s fog risk. Motorists should slow down and keep headlights on when traveling before sunrise.
By late Saturday morning, sunshine takes over, with highs near 71 degrees and a light northwest breeze. Conditions remain calm and dry into Sunday, which brings another sunny day with temperatures climbing into the mid-70s. Labor Day itself looks even warmer, with highs near 78 under clear skies—perfect for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and travel across upstate New York.
The stretch of fair weather continues through midweek, though forecasters caution that patchy fog could return overnight Sunday into early Monday. Travelers should remain alert during early hours, especially in valleys and low-lying areas.
Residents planning long drives this holiday weekend are urged to monitor updated advisories, avoid speeding through fog-prone stretches, and keep extra time in their travel schedules.
