BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Autumn’s muted palette blankets the Southern Tier as the season quietly leans into colder territory. With dry air settling in and winds relaxing, the first broad frost of the season is poised to develop by early Monday, signaling that winter’s gradual approach is underway.
The National Weather Service in Binghamton expects skies to steadily clear Sunday night, setting the stage for efficient overnight cooling. Temperatures are projected to slip into the upper 20s across rural valleys and hover in the low 30s closer to the city. Low-lying stretches, including Route 17 and the I-81 corridor, will be particularly prone to frost. Gardeners should protect sensitive plants, and early drivers may want to budget extra time for de-icing before daybreak Monday.
Saturday starts with a few spotty morning showers before clouds thin out, allowing highs near 52°F. Sunday stays dry, tranquil, and cool—perfect weather for yard work or putting up Halloween decorations. As darkness falls and winds remain light, clear skies will promote rapid cooling, likely leading to patchy to widespread frost across Broome, Chenango, and Tioga Counties.
The new week opens on a bright but brisk note. Sunshine prevails through Wednesday with highs in the low 50s, and the pattern remains quiet with no major storms or snow on the immediate horizon. A colder push may arrive as November begins, but for now, fall’s softer side lingers while its chill edges closer.

– Saturday: 52/35 – A couple of early showers; clouds break later.
