Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
134 AM EDT Fri Sep 11 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increased rainfall amounts across Northeastern Pennsylvania
Saturday night.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Mostly dry and pleasant conditions will continue through the end
of the week.

2) Showers Saturday night then scattered thunderstorms Sunday
afternoon into the evening.

3) Another system will bring the next round of showers and storms by
midweek.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Mid and high level clouds should erode this morning across the
region with enough sunshine for most locations to get into the
70`s for highs. Tonight looks to be the coldest night with high
pressure and clear skies. A few locations falling into the 40`s
is not out of the question. Clouds and moisture will be on the
increase though on the backside of the high pressure Saturday.
Enough lift may be present for some spotty showers by sunset.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

A warm front will move through the region late Saturday.
PW values will rise close to 1.5 inches coupled with a decent
LLJ should provide enough lift for fairly widespread showers.
Coverage looks highest closer to surface low tracking just to
our south. The main concern here is that some ensemble members
and Hires guidance are showing narrow bands of QPF of 1-3 inches
with this feature. Localized urban and small stream may become a
possibility Saturday night for portions of the area if this is
realized. With the later timing, instability will be quite
limited but an isolated thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out
in Northeast PA and the Catskills.

A cold front will soon follow with additional showers and
storms. Models are showing around 500 to 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE. If
there is a break in showers and some clearing skies early in
the day, then these values may be possible. Combined with 30 to
35 kts of shear, some gusty thunderstorms would then be possible
Sunday afternoon. Mid-level lapse rates are lacking so severe
storms are not expected at this time. Showers will linger into
Sunday night and possibly into Monday depending on how quickly
the front moves through. High pressure will build in behind the
departure of this system. Temperatures will trend a bit warmer
through the weekend with fairly warm overnight lows Saturday
night in the low 60`s.

KEY MESSAGE 3...

Overall, the cold front has trended stronger on model guidance
with a more aggressive push of high pressure from Canada early
next week. This eliminates the outcome of a very warm Tuesday
shown the last few days and would bring us more pleasant
temperatures from lows in the 50`s to highs in the 70`s. Also
this raises the potential for a more occluded system for the
middle of next week that lacks instability. Some ensemble
guidance checks up this frontal boundary, so heavy rainfall may
become a concern.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

High clouds between 15-20k ft agl are streaming over the area
early this morning. The high clouds will drop south and east,
reaching the NY/PA border by around 08-09z this morning, and
finally exiting NE PA and AVP by around 12-13z. As the high
clouds exit, good radiational cooling conditions will be
realized under clear skies. Fog is expected to quickly form at
or near ELM between 08-09z, then become well established with
LIFR to occasional VLIFR visibilities and ceilings between
09-13z expected here. Confidence is moderate to high in fog
formation at ELM this morning.

The fog quickly lifts and scatters out by 14z this morning.
Otherwise, expect VFR conditions to prevail over the next 24
hours at all of our remaining taf sites. There could be a few
mid level cumulus clouds around this afternoon, otherwise sunny
and clear skies remain through the day and evening hours.

Light west-northwest winds between 5-10 kts develop later this
morning and into the afternoon hours. Winds then become light,
variable and terrain driven heading into the later evening and
overnight hours tonight.

Outlook...
Late Tonight through Saturday...Mainly VFR with high pressure
over the region. Morning fog will be possible.

Saturday Night through Sunday...Restriction possible as frontal
system moves through the region.

Monday through Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
NY...None.
