...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BINGHAMTON TRANSITIONS TO NEW
FORMAT FOR THE AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION TODAY...
BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON DECEMBER 18, 2025, THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN BINGHAMTON, NY TRANSITIONS TO A KEY
MESSAGE FORMAT FOR THE AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION (AFD).
THIS STRATEGIC CHANGE ALIGNS THE AFD WITH AN IMPACTS-FIRST
MESSAGE PHILOSOPHY, ENABLING OUR OFFICE TO STREAMLINE
COMMUNICATION AND REDUCE REDUNDANCY. THIS TRANSITION MOVES AWAY
FROM A STRICTLY CHRONOLOGICAL LAYOUT TO FOCUS ON POTENTIAL WEATHER
IMPACTS AND HAZARDS. BY PRIORITIZING KEY MESSAGES, WE AIM TO
ENHANCE CLARITY AND ELIMINATE DUPLICATION WITHIN THE AFD.
A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON OF THE OLD FORMAT AND THE NEW FORMAT
CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.WEATHER.GOV/ERH/NEWAFD. PLEASE NOTE
THAT THE NUMBER OF KEY MESSAGES WILL VARY FROM 1 TO 5 DEPENDING ON
THE WEATHER EXPECTED DURING THE UPCOMING 7 DAYS.

COVERING NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND CENTRAL NEW YORK, CAN BE
