Binghamton, NY – Scattered lake-effect showers and gusty winds will impact parts of New York’s Southern Tier today, making travel along I-81 potentially hazardous. Winds from the northwest could reach 30 mph, diminishing visibility and creating slippery conditions in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Binghamton, temperatures will reach the mid-40s, ensuring precipitation remains rain through the evening. Showers will dissipate by nightfall, but travelers should remain cautious on roadways as gusts continue during the afternoon.
The week ahead begins calm, with partly sunny skies and highs near 49 degrees Monday. However, showers will return Monday night, transitioning into rain and snow showers by Tuesday evening as temperatures drop to the low 40s.
The real change arrives midweek. On Thanksgiving, a winter storm could bring a mix of rain and snow, with highs in the low 40s. Accumulations are uncertain but could create delays for holiday travelers.
Local residents should monitor updates from NWS and prepare for potential weather disruptions, especially Wednesday night into Thursday. Drivers are encouraged to check road conditions before traveling, as snow and ice could impact visibility and traction.
Expect colder weather to settle in after Thanksgiving, with lows near 31 degrees and lingering snow showers on Thursday night.
