Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
142 PM EDT Thu Mar 20 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through this afternoon and evening,
bringing rain showers to the area. Lingering showers change to
a few snow showers or flurries overnight with little to no
accumulation expected. Cooler, mainly sunny and windy on Friday
with showers returning on Saturday. Another cool down but dry
and mostly sunny weather expected for Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...

1000 AM Update...

Slowed down the increase of clouds and incoming rain by a few
hours based on the latest radar/satellite and CAMs. Made minor
edits to winds and wind gusts, expecting breezy conditions
through the day. No other significant changes to the forecast at
this time, as it remains nicely on track.

630 AM Update...

Temperatures were adjusted as lows did not fall as far as
guidance suggested. Bumped the whole area up 2-3 degrees into
the mid morning hours. The rest of the forecast remains on
track.

330 AM Update...
SSW flow continues tonight, with WAA keeping temps warm across
the region, especially in the northern Finger Lakes and Mohawk
Valley, where upper 50s remain. Temps should fall a few more
degrees tonight with strong surface winds keeping boundary layer
mixing going even with clearing skies moving in.

Southerly winds remain strong today ahead of the next weather system
currently moving across the southern Great Lakes. Gusts up to 20-
30mph across the region are expected into the early afternoon hours,
with gusts approaching 35kts across higher elevations south of the
Mohawk Valley, Finger Lakes and NEPA. Guidance has slowed the
progression of this system down over the past few model runs, with
rain now moving into the western portion of the CWA around noon. The
overall system will slowly move west to east as the showers within
the band move from SW to NE ahead of a cold front. Rain should be in
the I-81 corridor by late afternoon and into the Catskills by early
evening. 0.25-0.50 inches of rain is expected across the CWA.

Most of the precipitation looks to stay ahead of the cold front,
which will limit snowfall potential as cold air moves in behind the
cold front. A weak shortwave will move through the backside of the
500mb trough as it passes overhead. This should allow some weak
scattered showers to linger over the eastern Finger Lakes and east
of I-81. They should be a rain/snow mix changing to all snow as the
overnight progresses. Snow amounts have decreased over the past few
model runs as the 500mb trough has weakened and the surface low that
is expected to develop off the NJ coast is much more progressive and
moves to the NE fairly quickly. Up to 0.5 inches of snow could fall
across the higher elevations south of the Mohawk Valley and eastern
Finger Lakes. Accumulation should be limited to elevated objects as
the ground will be pretty warm from the past couple of days. The
Catskills could see a few tenths of an inch of snow, but this will
depend on how quickly the showers end there as it looks like the
cold air will not make it into this area before the precip pushes
east of the area.

Temps today will be warm again, with low to mid 60s expected across
the area. The cold front will push through the area by mid-
evening, but cold air is expected to slowly filter into the area
from the NW as the night progresses. Mid 40s to upper 30s are
expected by midnight, with low 30s to upper 20s by 6am.

Friday will be dry and cool under NW flow as high pressure builds in
from the west. Temps will climb into the low to mid 40s across much
of the region, with upper 40s expected in the valleys of the Twin
Tiers.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
335 AM Update:

The upper ridge will slide eastward Friday night as an
approaching shortwave trough approaches the area from the west.
Dry conditions are expected to remain Friday night, but clouds
will be increasing from west to east ahead of this next system.
Lows are expected to be in the upper 20s to mid 30s.

The aforementioned trough will move through the area on Saturday
which will bring a round of scattered rain showers to the area,
especially during the afternoon. Highs are expected to be in the
mid 40s to mid 50s, but with the cold front passing through the
area, some mid to upper 30s will be possible in some of the
higher elevations of Central NY by the late afternoon. This may
allow for some snow to potentially mix in across those
locations.

With 850mb temperatures falling to around -15C and a west-northwest
flow developing behind the cold front, some lake effect snow
showers will be possible across parts of Central NY Saturday
night, particularly along and north of the NY Thruway corridor.
Otherwise, a drying trend is expected Saturday night with high
pressure moving in from the west. It will be on the chillier
side Saturday night with lows in the mid teens to mid 20s.

High pressure will be in control on Sunday, which will bring
mostly sunny skies. 850mb temperatures will gradually rise
throughout the day to around -2C. Therefore temperatures will be
slowly moderating, but still a few degrees below normal. Highs
are expected to be in the upper 30s to mid 40s, with some upper
40s to near 50 degree readings across parts of the Wyoming
Valley.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
335 AM Update:

The long term period will be somewhat active/unsettled, but no
significant storms are expected at this time. An upper level
low will move from the Central U.S. to the Great Lakes Region
Sunday night and will eventually drag a cold front through the
region on Monday. Initial warm air advection may bring a round
of rain and snow showers Sunday night, before changing to rain
showers during the day on Monday, before potentially changing
back to a mix of rain and snow showers Monday night behind the
system. Subtle shortwaves embedded with a longwave trough may
bring some additional scattered rain and snow showers Tuesday
and Wednesday.

Temperatures in the long term will start out above normal on
Monday (highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s), before returning
closer to normal Tuesday and Wednesday (highs in the lower 40s
to near 50).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

140 PM Update

VFR conditions continue this afternoon. Rain then overspreads
the area from west to east between about 20/21z at ELM, 21/22z
at ITH & SYR, and 22/23z at RME & BGM...the rain reaches AVP by
23/24z early this evening. Once the rain moves in MVFR
conditions are expected, with occasional MVFR Fuel Alt CIGs also
possible at times. There is a chance for small windows of IFR
VSBYs at AVP, generally between about 00-04z this evening; this
was covered by a tempo in the TAF. Confidence was not quite high
enough yet to include in the TAFs, but some borderline IFR CIGs
are possible at ITH and BGM later tonight (after 03-05z Friday)
as the winds turn NW and upslope toward the terminals. MVFR to
MVFR fuel Alt CIGs linger at most TAF sites into early Friday
morning, before quickly lifting and scattering out by around 15z
Friday...after this there will be mainly clear/sunny skies.

Breezy south winds 10-20 kts with gusts up to 30 kts are
expected this afternoon. The winds turn more westerly and
decrease this evening. Then, behind the cold front NW winds
increase and become quite gusty overnight into Friday; likely
10-20 kts with gusts 25-35 kts.

Outlook...

Friday Afternoon...VFR expected (high confidence)

Saturday...Occasional restrictions possible in scattered rain
showers, mainly in the afternoon.

Sunday...Mainly VFR.

Monday...Another system brings rain/snow showers to the area
with associated restrictions possible.

Tuesday...Scattered snow and rain showers over the region with
more restrictions possible.
