Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
206 PM EDT Fri May 22 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Lowered forecast temperatures by a few more degrees for Sunday
as confidence continues to increase in a cold air damming regime
remaining in place. Otherwise, only minor adjustments were
necessary with the afternoon forecast package.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

1) The holiday weekend will be cool and rainy, with
temperatures starting to trend warmer on Monday.

2) The weather pattern is looking mainly dry and warmer Tuesday
through through the end of next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

High clouds have overspread the area ahead of a slow moving low
pressure system that will bring wet weather to the region this
weekend. While some initial isolated showers or drizzle is
possible this evening and overnight ahead of this system, the
chances are greater than any rain holds off until after daybreak
on Saturday as it will have to overcome some lower level dry
air.

Saturday will pretty much be a washout most of the day as a
widespread moderate rainfall is expected across the region. That
being said, for areas north of I-88 and especially north of the
NY Thruway corridor, the steadier rain will likely hold off
until the afternoon. The breezy (10-20 mph, gusts to 30 mph),
cool easterly flow will keep temperatures locked in the upper
40s to lower 50s for much of the area...except the I-90
corridor should reach the lower 60s where the rain holds off
much longer. Southeast winds peak Saturday evening into Saturday
night, between 10-20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph along the
hilltops possible. Rainfall totals Saturday into Sunday are
expected to range from about 0.50 to 1.25 inches over the
region.

While Sunday will still feature showers, the bulk of the rain
will depart the area to the east by the afternoon. Mostly cloudy
skies will persist, although there may be some brief clearing
Sunday afternoon for parts of the Finger Lakes Region. It will
be another cool day with highs only in the mid 50s to lower 60s
for most of the area. Parts of the Finger Lakes Region may reach
the mid 60s if partial clearing does occur.

The next fast moving front comes through Sunday night and Monday
morning with additional showers likely. Once this feature
passes by, it may once again dry out Monday afternoon.
Temperatures will be much warmer on Monday with highs in the 70s
area-wide.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

For Tuesday onwards next week, a ridge begins to build over the
Central US, while an upper low develops over Quebec. Mostly dry
conditions are expected through most of the week, but there will
be the possibility for a few isolated showers at times. Temperatures
will continue the warming trend with highs in the mid-70s to
lower 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. Slightly cooler conditions are
expected for the end of the week, but still with highs in the
70s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions expected for all terminals through most of the
TAF period. Ceilings will start to lower from SW to NE early
tomorrow morning, as rain showers push into the region. MVFR to
IFR ceiling and visibility restrictions are possible at
AVP/BGM/ITH/ELM at the end of the TAF period.

Outlook:

Saturday through Saturday night...Widespread rain showers and
associated restrictions.

Sunday through Monday...Lingering scattered rain showers and
associated restrictions possible.

Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

&&

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