Binghamton, NY – Dangerous wind chills are expected to plunge parts of New York into subzero territory tonight, with temperatures reaching -10°F to -20°F.

According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect until noon Wednesday. While daytime highs today will reach the low teens, strong winds will make it feel much colder. Frostbite can occur on exposed skin within minutes in these conditions. Local warming centers are available for those in need, and residents are encouraged to check on elderly neighbors.
Tonight, temperatures will drop to -3°F in Binghamton with even colder conditions in outlying rural areas. Winds will persist, keeping wind chill values dangerously low.
