Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
158 PM EDT Mon Jun 15 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increased cloud cover once again for this afternoon, although
there will be a gradual break-up of the clouds with partial
sunshine. Lowered forecast low temperatures for tonight by a few
degrees due to radiational cooling conditions setting up.
Finally, increased winds for Thursday as there will be tight
pressure gradient developing due to an anomalously deep low
pressure system for this time of the year moving across the
Great Lakes.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Dry weather along with seasonably cool temperatures is
expected through Tuesday.

2) An upper level trough will bring rounds of showers and
thunderstorms Wednesday through the end of the week. The best
chance for showers and thunderstorms will be on Thursday, along
with breezy conditions.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

A very cool afternoon is in progress with temperatures only in
the 50s and lower 60s for most of the area. Clouds have been a
bit stubborn, but are slowly breaking-up. This will allow for
temperatures to rise a few more degrees, but still only top out
in the 60s for most of the area. Parts of the Wyoming Valley-
Poconos may touch 70 degrees, but even that is roughly 10
degrees below normal for mid-June.

As the clouds dissipate tonight, the mostly clear skies, light
winds, and high pressure overhead will set the stage for
radiational cooling conditions. This will result in cool
conditions with lows forecast to get down into the 40s for most
of the area. It is not out of the question for some of our usual
colder spots (particularly northern Oneida county) to drop to
the upper 30s.

Temperatures will rebound on Tuesday with high pressure moving
east of the area and a southwesterly return flow developing.
This will result in temperatures returning to near-normal levels
(mainly in the 70s). Mostly sunny skies are expected.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Active weather will return starting on Wednesday and lasting
through the end of the week as multiple shortwaves pivoting around
longwave trough over Canada will move into the Northeast. This
will set the stage for multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms Wednesday right through the end of the week. While
there remains a bit of uncertainty regarding the timing of each
shortwave and there will be dry breaks in between each
one, Thursday appears to be the most active day at this time as
a potent shortwave moves through and more moisture and humidity
advects back in.

What is becoming more apparent is the gusty wind potential for
Thursday. The parent low pressure system cutting across the
Great Lakes will be quite deep for this time of the year. This
deep low will result in a tightening pressure gradient and
allow for winds to really pick up, especially in the afternoon.
Wind gusts of 30-40 mph will be possible, possibly locally up to
45 mph on some of the hilltops. This will continue to be
monitored as this gets close to (but currently just under) Wind
Advisory criteria.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Any borderline MVFR ceilings will continue to lift and break up
this afternoon. Northwest wind gusts should subside around
sunset as well. For tonight and tomorrow, VFR with light winds.



Outlook:

Tuesday night...Mainly VFR.

Wednesday and Wednesday night... Restrictions possible from
scattered showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon. Showers
with restrictions likely Wednesday night. LLWS also likely
Wednesday night.


Thursday and Thursday night... Restrictions from showers and
thunderstorms likely. Very breezy, southwest winds become
westerly. Timing still uncertain with restrictions and wind
shifts.

Friday: Possible restrictions with a chance for showers and
breezy with westerly wind gusts in the afternoon.

&&

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