New York, NY – The National Weather Service in New York is warning residents to brace for the first widespread cold snap of the season tonight, urging precautions for those most at risk. Forecasters say temperatures will drop sharply after sunset, with wind chills making conditions feel even colder across the city and surrounding metro areas.
According to the US National Weather Service New York office, newborns, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, outdoor workers, and the unhoused are among the most vulnerable to cold exposure. Officials remind residents to dress in loose layers, cover exposed skin, and limit time outdoors whenever possible.
The agency also recommends consuming warm food and drinks—but avoiding caffeine and alcohol—to help maintain body temperature. Residents are encouraged to check on neighbors, family members, and friends who may need extra support overnight as temperatures plunge.
Meteorologists say this marks the beginning of a colder pattern expected to persist through early next week, with additional advisories possible if temperatures continue to fall.
