Binghamton, N.Y. – Gray skies and damp roads stretch across the Southern Tier early Thursday morning as a weak system pushes scattered showers through upstate New York. The cool air and patchy drizzle signal another shift toward late fall. The air feels heavier, the wind steadier — a reminder that we’re now just a few weeks from the season’s first frost and, eventually, its first snow.
Showers will become more likely by midday Thursday, lasting into the evening with a few heavier pockets after dark. Temperatures will climb near 55°F but fall back into the 30s by late Thursday night as winds ease. Friday brings a few lingering sprinkles early, but the real change comes with drier air and a cooler high near 54°F.
By Saturday morning, patchy fog may hang in the river valleys before bright sunshine takes over. Highs will reach the low 50s, paired with calm winds — the kind of crisp, golden air perfect for football games, apple picking, or outdoor cleanup. Sunday stays pleasant with mild sun and a touch more warmth near 52°F.
Looking beyond the weekend, another front may bring showers late Monday or Tuesday, though no significant cold snaps or snow threats appear yet. Still, long-range models hint at a broader pattern change as November nears — the type that often introduces the first flakes across western and northern New York.
For now, Binghamton residents can enjoy a classic fall weekend: cool mornings, dry afternoons, and a fleeting calm before the season’s next turn.
