NYC braves coldest temperatures of season, single-digit wind chills

Temperatures in New York City reached new lows for the 2025-26 winter season on Tuesday, a preview of even lower temperatures expected to arrive over the weekend.

The high temperature in Central Park was only 23 degrees on Tuesday, with a 10-degree wind chill. Meanwhile, the overnight lows were expected to drop to 18 degrees with a 9-degree wind chill, according to the National Weather Service.

But that will seem almost balmy by Saturday, when the predicted high is only 16 degrees. Conditions are hardly expected to improve on Sunday, with a forecast high of 19 degrees. Wind chills will remain between 0 and 10 degrees for the entire weekend.

“These will be dangerous life-threatening conditions for anyone without proper winter clothing and gear outdoors or reliable heat indoors,” the city’s emergency management department wrote on social meda. “Limit time outdoors. Cover all exposed skin. Wear layers, a hat, and gloves. Check on neighbors who may be vulnerable.”

Coastal areas like Montauk will see slightly warmer temperatures, but it will be even colder in the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey. In White Plains, the overnight low on Tuesday into Wednesday will dip to 11 degrees.

Wednesday and Thursday are expected to bring some relief from the cold, with highs reaching 35 degrees in Central Park on Wednesday night and 41 degrees on Thursday afternoon. Additionally, no rain or snow is expected throughout the week.

However, temperatures will plummet as the weekend approaches, according to meteorologists. While holding steady in the high 20s and low 30s through Friday afternoon, temperatures will drop overnight into Saturday, with a predicted low of 12 degrees and a wind chill of 1 degree in Manhattan, leading into the frigid weekend.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
