(WBNG) - Forecast Discussion: A coastal low forms tonight and in the process will spread rain through the area this evening and overnight Friday. Rainfall amounts should range from around a quarter to third of an inch in the Finger Lakes to 0.75-1” in the Catskills. There could be a few locally higher totals well southeast/east of Binghamton; closer to the track of the coastal low. We do not anticipate any significant flooding in our viewing area.
More rain ahead as we head into another dreary weekend.

(WBNG) - Over the weekend, the Southern Tier can see some steady showers work their way over, thanks to a coastal low coming from the south. Rain amounts depend on the track of the low, if it heads more west than expected, expect higher amounts of rain, vice versa for east. But after the weekend, temperatures look to vary as the southern tier looks to start meteorological summer seasonably below average, all the way down into the mid-to-upper 50s.
Not a bad start to the week!
