If your weekend plans involve anything outdoors in the Southern Tier, it’s time to play a little weather Tetris. Mother Nature’s spring mood swings are coming in full force over Binghamton this weekend, serving up warm temps, possible storms, and then a sharp cool-down just in time for Easter Sunday.
SATURDAY: STORMS, SUN, AND SURPRISES
Saturday kicks off with a deceptive sense of spring calm. The high? A toasty 73°F — perfect hoodie weather, right? But don’t let it fool you. Clouds will be creeping in early, and by midday, showers and scattered thunderstorms are likely to make their appearance.
Some of these storms might pack a punch, with gusty winds and even small hail possible in a few spots. It’s the kind of day where one moment you’re in a T-shirt on your porch, and the next you’re sprinting inside to dodge a sudden downpour.
Heads up: If you’re out and about, especially during the afternoon and early evening hours, keep your phone charged and weather alerts turned on. Conditions could change fast.
SUNDAY: EASTER GETS A CHILL VIBE
Easter Sunday will feel like a totally different season. After Saturday’s storms and 70s, we’re heading for a cool-down. Highs will only reach the mid-50s — around 56°F — with a mix of clouds and occasional sun throughout the day.
It won’t be freezing by any stretch, but that spring breeze will have a bit of bite to it. Think layered outfits, warm coffee on the porch, and maybe a jacket if you’re headed to sunrise service or a late-morning egg hunt.
The silver lining? It looks like a dry day overall. No major rain threats, just classic early-spring coolness.
LOOKING AHEAD: RAIN RETURNS, TEMPS RISE
As we move into the new week, temperatures will start climbing again, inching back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday. But don’t stash the umbrella just yet — more showers are on the radar midweek, continuing the classic April back-and-forth.
TAKEAWAY:
-
Saturday: Warm, windy, and wet — storms could get feisty.
-
Sunday: Cooler, calmer, and mostly dry — dress in layers.
-
Next Week: Milder with more rain by midweek.
Whether you’re hiding eggs or just hiding from the weather, make sure you check the sky before stepping out. It’s a weekend of two moods in Binghamton — dramatic Saturday, mellow Sunday. Stay dry, stay warm, and soak in those springtime vibes (while dodging the raindrops).
