Binghamton, NY – After a damp Columbus Day start, clearer skies are finally on the way for the Southern Tier as cooler fall air settles in by midweek. The National Weather Service reports that steady Monday rain will taper off tonight, paving the way for a bright and mild Wednesday across much of upstate New York.
According to the NWS Binghamton office, highs will climb to around 65°F by Wednesday, bringing perfect weather for pumpkin patch visits and leaf-viewing drives along I-81 and Route 17. Residents can expect lower humidity, calmer winds, and plenty of sunshine through Thursday.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be the most comfortable days of the week, with daytime highs in the low-to-mid 60s and overnight lows dipping to the mid-40s. By Thursday, clear skies continue with highs near 56°F, signaling the start of a cool, crisp pattern heading into the weekend.
Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday will stay mostly sunny, though temperatures could dip near freezing late at night—raising early frost concerns for rural areas. Gardeners are advised to cover sensitive plants or bring potted arrangements indoors.
Enjoy the fall sunshine while it lasts—next week’s models hint at another rain system possibly moving in by late Sunday or early Monday.
