069 FXUS61 KBGM 081117 AFDBGM Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 617 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A low pressure system will track from the Ohio Valley into the Great Lakes Sunday brining additional rain showers. Much colder air will move into the region behind the front with several disturbances providing for additional rain and snow showers next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... The front that moved through the region last night has shifted south of the region. Some of the clouds may break up for several hours today leading to another day with highs around 50. However, a low pressure system over the Ohio Valley looks to track into the region Sunday and Sunday night. Moisture will be lifted ahead of this system to produce a few more rounds of showers starting Saturday night. It is possible north of the NY Thruway for the precipitation to start as a wintry mix with minor accumulations as temperatures fall to around freezing in those locations. Warm air should win out with a fairly strong southerly flow with temperatures warming well into the 40`s and 50`s. Rainfall amounts should end up around 1/2 inch for most of the region so, no concern for flooding at this time. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... Temperatures should drop off sharply after the passage of a cold front in the evening to around freezing by Monday morning. Any lingering showers should changeover to snow as a result. Model soundings are showing both Monday and Tuesday to feature fairly strong wind gusts from the west and northwest. Given the abnormally cold airmass, temperatures should stay in the 30`s. A combination of the wind and cold will give us our first taste of winter. Lake effect moisture should get involved resulting in additional snow showers. Locations just downwind of Lake Ontario as usual have the highest chances for snow showers and light accumulations. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Several additional disturbances in a broad west-northwest flow will continue to bring some occasional rain and snow showers to the region. Some rebound in temperatures into the 40`s is possible in the afternoons. Still temperatures indicate a mix of rain and snow here. Some blustery conditions are possible as well. Hard to pinpoint the exact timing of each disturbance and or weak cold front this far out. && .AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Borderline VFR/MVFR ceilings expected at most terminals through the day today, mainly leaning towards VFR. AVP has developed some low IFR ceilings, which should improve to VFR around 13z or so. Conditions are expected to deteriorate to MVFR restrictions with rain showers coming in towards the end of the TAF period. Outlook...

Monday...Occasional restrictions possible in scattered rain and snow showers, especially at the Central NY terminals. Tuesday...Occasional restrictions possible in scattered snow showers, especially at the Central NY terminals.
