Binghamton, NY – Central New York and northeastern Pennsylvania are set to experience unseasonably warm temperatures this weekend, with highs in the 80s, well above the usual late September averages.
Warm Weekend Ahead for Central New York
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, Saturday’s high temperatures are expected to soar into the upper 70s to low 80s across much of the region, including Syracuse, Ithaca, and Binghamton. In southern areas, such as Wilkes-Barre and Elmira, highs could climb into the low 80s.
Residents should be ready for a warm and pleasant weekend with temperatures well above the usual late September norms, where highs typically range in the upper 60s.
Cloudy Skies with Possible Evening Showers
While the weekend will remain warm, cloud cover will linger across central New York and northeastern Pennsylvania on Saturday due to a low-pressure system moving eastward.
“While most areas will stay dry, we’re expecting some scattered showers to develop, mainly over the Catskills and northeastern Pennsylvania in the evening,” forecasters reported.
Even though a few isolated showers may appear, the majority of the region will remain dry, with no major weather disruptions expected.
Sunday’s Highs: Continuing the Warmth
On Sunday, the warm weather will persist, with temperatures reaching 80 to 84 degrees in many locations. Elmira and Wilkes-Barre are forecast to peak at 83 to 84 degrees, while Syracuse and Binghamton will likely stay in the low 80s.
This continued warmth is notably above average for September, when typical highs hover around the upper 60s.
Above-Normal Temperatures into Early Next Week
The warm pattern is expected to continue into early next week, with dry conditions dominating the region. This stretch of warm weather offers a late-season opportunity for outdoor activities, but residents should prepare for changing weather patterns as the fall season approaches in October.
Conclusion: Enjoy the Last Bits of Summer
As central New York experiences this late-season warmth, residents are encouraged to enjoy the unseasonably pleasant conditions. However, be prepared for cooler, fall-like temperatures that will arrive in early October.
